- Provide support to scientific visitors on site
Expected profile
- Bachelor or equivalent diploma (worth at least 180 ECTS) in Business and Administration or secretarial/assistant diploma (NVQ level 4, BAC +3 or equivalent higher education diploma)

- Well organised, capable of working both independently and as part of a team
- Willing to take responsibility for activities and to develop new skills
- Good communication skills enabling you to work in a multi-cultural environment.
