Dear madam, Dear sir,
I am writing to express my strong interest in the position of Policy Officer – Science-to-Policy (EU Focus) at Altertox. With a background in European and International Law, hands-on experience in EU policymaking, and a proven ability to communicate complex issues clearly to diverse stakeholders, I am motivated to contribute to Altertox’s mission of bridging science and policy at the European level.
During my Blue Book traineeship at the European Commission’s Secretariat-General, I supported policy coordinators in the implementation of EU agreements, including the EEA Agreement and bilateral relations with Switzerland. I drafted policy briefings, speaking points, and presentations for senior officials and engaged with the Council, the European Parliament, and the Committee of the Regions. This experience strengthened my ability to transform technical and legal content into concise, accessible messages tailored to policymakers.
Previously, as a Legal Advisor in the life sciences sector, I gained insight into the regulatory and innovation landscape of medical research and biotechnology. I drafted and negotiated agreements, ensured compliance with GDPR and intellectual property standards, and supported due diligence for investors and stakeholders. This role sharpened my organizational and project management skills, which I am eager to apply to Altertox’s portfolio in AI in healthcare, One Health, and New Approach Methodologies.
Fluent in both French and English, I thrive in multicultural environments and am comfortable coordinating events, engaging with EU stakeholders, and producing policy outputs with accuracy and clarity. I am proactive, adaptable, and motivated to further develop Altertox’s science-to-policy activities with a focus on the human exposome.
I would be delighted to contribute my skills and motivation to your dynamic team in Brussels. I am confident that my combination of EU institutional experience, legal expertise, and communication abilities make me a strong fit for this position.
Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how I can support Altertox’s projects and objectives.
Yours sincerely,
Maxime Gras
