University-wide Academic Collaborative Centers

Hopefully you have heard about the University-wide Academic Collaborative Centers initiative? Such a center is a long-term collaboration between a multidisciplinary community of researchers in the university and several civil society partners,  focusing on creating shared and sustainable prosperity Together, they aim to create  societal impact on societal challenges like the energy transition, reforming the job market, improving health, and combating poverty. 

Wellbeing goes beyond economic developments

The Academic Collaborative Center Wellbeing focuses specifically on economic development beyond GDP. How can we measure, monitor and steer economic policies and decision making in such a way that it is more inclusive of environmental and social aspects of prosperity and progress? For now, we have set up several lines of research in an initial session with partners. The first outline focuses on exploring steering for wellbeing and progress through four themes:

1. Impact Monitoring
2. Entrepreneurship
3. Institutions
4. Network Governance.

The Collaborative Center Wellbeing organizes a meeting for researchers interested in this center on Monday 10 July from 15.30 to 17.00 in M1003. Here we will provide more information on this initiative and the opportunities it may offer to you, such as: 

• Possibilities to lead / participate in research projects with partners  
• The possibility to create extra impact on society with your research  
• A research-community beyond the boundaries of your own discipline and school 
• Access to a partner-network and data 
• Enriching education, for example by involving partners in lectures, theses, and internships
