Researcher to Reader is pleased to announce that Silva Mitro has joined the R2R Advisory Board. She is a Research Portfolio Manager at Veneto Institute of Oncology – IRCCS.

Silva brings high-level expertise in international networking, designing and managing complex EU-funded research projects, and developing international programmes of global reach in academic, non-profit, healthcare, and international settings, including clinical trial design and coordination.

She also has consolidated experience in organisational development in the non-profit sector, as well as in postgraduate academic programmes, including curriculum development, programme evaluation, and teaching at the postgraduate level. She is also involved as a trainer in professional development programmes targeting research management staff.

Thanks to her long-term experience working with several international organisations, including the European Commission, the State Department, UN agencies, and international scientific societies, Silva’s areas of expertise also include strategy development and implementation, as well as project evaluation and oversight from a funding-body perspective.

In addition, she has a long track record in international relations and grants office management. Her academic background includes linguistics, law, postgraduate management studies, European integration, and funding programmes.

Silva’s experience will be especially valuable as R2R continues to develop as an independent forum for deeper understanding between different research stakeholders. Her perspective strengthens R2R’s engagement with the full Researcher to Reader cycle, particularly in relation to research management, international collaboration, funding programmes, knowledge transfer, and the organisational conditions that support quality in science.

We warmly welcome Silva Mitro to the R2R Advisory Board.
