Within our research on robotic gas detection, we have focused on making a prototype based on Boston Dynamics SPOT, because it takes a lot of difficulties out of prototyping. For instance, it has its own obstacle avoidance algorithm, good drivers are available for ROS2, and SPOT is meant for outdoor …

Although Item Response Theory (IRT) has been recommended for helping advance interprofessional education (IPE) research, its use remains limited. This may be partly explained by potential misconceptions regarding IRT`s “limitation” to cross-sectional data. The aim of this study is to demonstrate how …

Citizen science can be a powerful approach to foster the successful implementation of technological innovations in health, care or well-being. Involving experience experts as co-researchers or co-designers of technological innovations facilitates mutual learning, community building, and empowerment. …

This study presents the initial findings of a four year iterative research project. In this project nine teams of lecturers, researchers and students collaboratively (re)designed parts of their curricula. This paper focuses on the character of their multi-role collaboration in the situation, the interaction …

This research report investigates the challenges and opportunities in improving the findability of cultural heritage datasets for social science and humanities (SSH) researchers, focusing on the SSHOC-NL project and Task 2.3. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining user interviews, technical …

This thesis researches the values threatened due to data and AI development and application in the Netherlands. This is related to what should be written in an oath for the Dutch data professional to promote these values and lower the threat to these values. Following the Design Science Methodology and …

Integrated science-and-literacy programs have proven to positively affect both language proficiency and science knowledge. Because making connections is important in both text comprehension and understanding the disciplinary core ideas taught in science, it seems worthwhile to explore the potential of …

The circular economy (CE) is heralded as reducing material use and emissions while providing more jobs and growth. We explored this narrative in a series of expert workshops, basing ourselves on theories, methods and findings from science fields such as global environmental input-output analysis, business …

The idea that technologies influence society—both positively and negatively—is not new. This is mainly the terrain of the philosophy and the ethics of technolo-gy research. Similarly, design research aims to help create new technologies in line with individual, social, and societal needs and values. …
