Introduction
I am an associate professor of Environmental Planning and Management at IHE Delft. My current work is on water-related transformation pathways in periurban areas, on participatory and stakeholder-oriented planning tools for delta planning, and on methods that improve linkages between planning-implementation-and-evaluation as part of adaptive learning . I combine my position at IHE Delft with a position at Delft University of Technology.

Leon Hermans combines work at IHE Delft and TU Delft. At IHE, Leon is leading a small team that is responsible for the Environmental Planning and Management specialization in the Environmental Science MSc programme. This is combined with teaching, research and capacity development activities. At TU Delft, Leon combines research and teaching in policy analysis. Research interests include the use and development of methods for the (participatory) analysis of actor interactions, using so-called actor and strategy models, and the use of monitoring and evaluation to support adaptive management, water governance and delta planning. Leon is currently (co-)leading research projects in the Netherlands, Bangladesh, India and Vietnam. He co-authored textbooks on Policy Analysis of Multi-Actor Systems (2010) and Actor and Strategy Models (2018).
