Supply chain partnerships within housing refurbishment have not been given much specific attention which may be found surprising because the refurbishment market is becoming of increasing importance compared to new construction and has specific characteristics that require adapted approaches to supply chain integration. In this paper approaches, expected benefits and challenges of supply chain partnerships within housing renovation are explored. From general literature on building process innovation, dimensions of supply chain integration and potential advantages and challenges of have been derived and employed in a preliminary inquiry among Dutch housing associations and their partners that are experimenting with supply chain partnering in housing refurbishment projects. The results indicate that approaches are in a relatively early stage of development towards ‘mature’ supply chain partnerships. Furthermore, many of the general expectations also apply to the Dutch housing refurbishment sector, but at a more detailed level, refurbishment may require specific attention for the division of tasks and risks between the partners, particularly regarding communication with tenants.

Communicatie en media veranderen van structuur en inhoud nu onze samenleving zich transformeert naar een gedigitaliseerde netwerksamenleving. Alle bestaande spelers (overheden, bedrijven, culturele instellingen, burgers, etc.) gaan zich op nieuwe manieren tot elkaar verhouden. Betekenis en identiteit zijn hierin kernbegrippen waar actief mee geëxperimenteerd moet worden. Laboratorium Waterwolf richt zich actief en praktijkgericht op de veranderende rol van cultuur in deze nieuwe samenleving. Bestaande spelers moeten zichzelf opnieuw uitvindenklassieke 'zenders', werkend vanuit inhoudelijke autoriteit, zullen steeds vaker niet alleen zelf reflecteren en kennis ontwikkelen, maar juist een centrale rol spelen in het organiseren en inspireren van kennisontwikkeling en leerprocessen in de samenleving zelf. Dit schetsboek presenteert laboratorium Waterwolf: initiatiefnemers, partners, uitgangspunten, denkbeelden en onderzoeksagenda.
Dutch Cycling Intelligence (DCI) embodies all Dutch cycling knowledge to enhances customer-oriented cycling policy. Based on the data-driven cycle policy enhancement tools and knowledge of the Breda University of Applied Sciences, DCI is the next step in creating a learning community between road authorities, consultants, cycling industry, and knowledge institutes with their students. The DCI consists of three pilars:- Connecting- Accelerating knowledge- Developing knowledgeConnecting There are many stakeholders and specialists in the cycling domain. Specialists with additional knowledge about socio-cultural impacts, geo-special knowledge, and technical traffic solutions. All of these specialists need each other to ensure a perfect balance between the (electric) bicycle, the cyclist and the cycle path in its environment. DCI connects and brings together all kind of different specialists.Accelerating knowledge Many bicycle innovations take place in so-called living labs. Within the living lab, the triple helix collaboration between road authorities the industry and knowledge institutes is key. Being actively involved in state-of-the-art innovations creates an inspiring work and learning environment for students and staff. A practical example of a successful living lab is the cycle superhighway F261 between Tilburg and Waalwijk, where BUAS tested new cycle route signage. Next, the Cycling Lab F58 is created, where the road authorities Breda and Tilburg opened up physical cycling infrastructure for entrepreneurs in the bicycle domain and knowledge institutes to develop e-cycling innovation. The living labs are test environments where pilots can be carried out in practice and an excellent environment for students to conduct scientifically applied research.Developing knowledge Ultimately, data and information must be translated into knowledge. With a team of specialists and partners Breda University of applied sciences developed knowledge and tools to monitor and evaluate cycling behavior. By participating in (inter)national research programs BUAS has become one of the frontrunners in data-driven cycle policy enhancement. In close collaboration with road authorities, knowledge institutes as well as consultants, new insights and answers are developed in an international context. By an active knowledge contribution to the network of the Dutch Cycling Embassy, BUAS aims to strengthen its position and add to the global sustainability challenges.

Er zijn aanwijzingen dat mensen met schulden pas laat de weg vinden naar de hulpverlening, waardoor de problemen zijn opgelopen en moeilijker zijn op te lossen. De afgelopen jaren hebben gemeenten daarom veel geld geïnvesteerd in het eerder bereiken van inwoners met schulden en in de verbetering van de ondersteuning die zij ontvangen. Er is echter weinig bekend over de effectiviteit van deze interventies. Dat maakt doorontwikkeling van interventies lastig. In het onderzoek ‘Eerder uit de schulden: wat werkt?’ wordt gekeken naar het bereik en de effectiviteit van interventies voor mensen met betalingsachterstanden.Doel Het doel van dit project is om inzicht te krijgen in de werkzame bestanddelen van interventies gericht op het eerder bereiken en het ondersteuning bieden aan mensen met betalingsachterstanden. Waar mogelijk worden bestaande interventies verbeterd. Resultaten De uiteindelijke resultaten moeten gemeenten helpen om inzicht te krijgen in effectieve interventies die zij kunnen inzetten voor het bereiken en ondersteunen van hun inwoners met betalingsachterstanden. Het project wordt uitgevoerd door een breed consortium bestaande uit de volgende partners: CBS, HU, Pharos, Verwey-Jonker Instituut, Bureau Bartels, Save the Children, Valente, Gemeente Amsterdam, Gemeente Arnhem, Gemeente Deventer, Gemeente Gouda, Gemeente Haarlem en Gemeente Utrecht. Looptijd 01 mei 2020 - 01 mei 2023 Aanpak In het onderzoek worden interventies onderzocht met betrekking op vier thema’s. Binnen elk thema wordt een interventie onderzocht op welke elementen er werken en welke niet. Daarnaast gaat het onderzoek nog een stap verder door vanuit bestaande inzichten te kijken of de interventies aan gepast kunnen worden, om vervolgens te kijken of dit werkt. De volgende thema’s zullen worden onderzocht: Ondersteuningsgesprekken met schuldhulpverlening voorafgaande aan een formeel traject: meer informatie en hoe wij omgaan met de data; Samenwerking met ketenpartners: de warme doorverwijzing door derden bijvoorbeeld door de rechtbank of door de gezondheidszorg; Ondersteuning door vrijwilligers die zelf schulden hebben gehad (ervaringsvrijwilligers; Het bereiken van jongeren. Financiering Dit onderzoek is gefinancierd door de Nederlandse Organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek (NWO) met betrokkenheid van het ministerie voor Sociale Zaken en Werkgelegenheid in het kader van de NWA ronde Schulden en Armoede.
Automated driving nowadays has become reality with the help of in-vehicle (ADAS) systems. More and more of such systems are being developed by OEMs and service providers. These (partly) automated systems are intended to enhance road and traffic safety (among other benefits) by addressing human limitations such as fatigue, low vigilance/distraction, reaction time, low behavioral adaptation, etc. In other words, (partly) automated driving should relieve the driver from his/her one or more preliminary driving tasks, making the ride enjoyable, safer and more relaxing. The present in-vehicle systems, on the contrary, requires continuous vigilance/alertness and behavioral adaptation from human drivers, and may also subject them to frequent in-and-out-of-the-loop situations and warnings. The tip of the iceberg is the robotic behavior of these in-vehicle systems, contrary to human driving behavior, viz. adaptive according to road, traffic, users, laws, weather, etc. Furthermore, no two human drivers are the same, and thus, do not possess the same driving styles and preferences. So how can one design of robotic behavior of an in-vehicle system be suitable for all human drivers? To emphasize the need for HUBRIS, this project proposes quantifying the behavioral difference between human driver and two in-vehicle systems through naturalistic driving in highway conditions, and subsequently, formulating preliminary design guidelines using the quantified behavioral difference matrix. Partners are V-tron, a service provider and potential developer of in-vehicle systems, Smits Opleidingen, a driving school keen on providing state-of-the-art education and training, Dutch Autonomous Mobility (DAM) B.V., a company active in operations, testing and assessment of self-driving vehicles in the Groningen province, Goudappel Coffeng, consultants in mobility and experts in traffic psychology, and Siemens Industry Software and Services B.V. (Siemens), developers of traffic simulation environments for testing in-vehicle systems.
