Welcome to my website.
"...and we should not simply measure what we can become by what we are today".
Paul Tillich 1959.

My name is Françoise Juliette Companjen.
I teach, consult and do research in organizational studies at the VU University Amsterdam in three domains:

the South Caucasus in transition: civil society and entrepreneurship; intercultural management; the creative city (Amsterdam Zuidas, La Défense, London City).

Having a background in Human Resource Management and in Cultural Anthropology I have an overall interest in the construction, attribution and communication of meaning both in macro (geo-political, historical) and micro (organizational and daily life) relations. Some of these activities are combined under the flag of Caucasus Interconnect.
