Dear Reader
Be
welcome, stay a while and look around on my website, if you wish. My name
is Leo Zonneveld and this site gives some details about my life and work. Based
at the British Embassy in The Hague as
erstwhile
Science
Attaché,
I
have been representing the UK science base, fostering academic and industrial
collaboration between Britain and The Netherlands until July 2007. Before that,
I worked at the Embassy as a Commercial Officer, responsible for the promotion
of the UK High Tech industry in The Netherlands. I am retired now.
After having worked for Britain for 37 years, I put most of my energy in
expanding an informal global network, that simply emerged over the years, with
people deeply interested and involved in science and sociological concerns, and
whose personal and professional lives have been greatly influenced by the great
scientist and philosopher
Pierre
Teilhard de Chardin
, catalyst of that mystifying flash of understanding in a
young person's life, that is remembered for ever.
Over the years, an amazing web of Teilhard-envisioned, interrelated paradigm
shifts has become visible, drifting across many disciplines and schools of
learning. If you have been involved in any of these, I would really be
privileged to know you - please be in touch.
My
website collates the various strands of thought and action that were brought to
life and inspired me while working at them, both professionally and
personally. I hope you will find somewhere between the lines some thoughts and
ideas that may be interesting..
Greetings!
Leo W Zonneveld
