Toninio Waelkens joined DIGITALEUROPE as an Policy Intern for Digital Sustainability Policy.

Prior to joining DIGITALEUROPE, Toninio Waelkens completed his master’s in health policy at the Catholic University of Leuven in September 2023. He extensively studied Belgian and European policies and partnerships to reduce the impact of endocrine-disrupting chemicals on human health and the environment. He particularly focused on the Partnership for the Assessment of Risks from Chemicals (PARC) and its relation to previous initiatives, identified gaps in current legislation, and proposed ways to use these substances sustainably.

While studying, Toninio gained professional experience as a Business Development and Communications intern at a health start-up in Berlin and worked as a healthcare professional in Brussels.
