Co-founder & Executive Director
Rob Suters, LL.M.
MELiSSA Foundation
Rob Suters holds a Master’s degree in Law and co-founded the MELiSSA Foundation with the aim of creating an independent organisation that could support and extend the reach of the MELiSSA project beyond the research consortium itself. In his role as Executive Director, he oversees the Foundation’s governance, partnerships, and programme development, and works closely with the MELiSSA consortium and ESA on a range of initiatives. His interest lies in the intersection of science, communication, and the practical question of how research translates into broader societal relevance, particularly in the context of circular systems and sustainability.
