Campussen zijn er in veel smaken. Eén ding hebben ze gemeen: ze worden neergezet als innovatieversnellers met een meerwaarde voor de aldaar gevestigde bedrijven en kennisinstellingen.

Amsterdam heeft verschillende campussen en innovatiegebieden. Van oudsher zijn dit vooral plekken voor kennisinstellingen, maar de laatste jaren zijn ze meer divers geworden. Veel campussen richten zich nu ook expliciet op bedrijven, vooral kennisintensieve startups en scale-ups. Ze profileren zich als aantrekkelijke vestigingsplaatsen waar bedrijven samenwerkingen kunnen aangaan met onderzoek en onderwijs, en/of gebruik kunnen maken van specialistische faciliteiten die op de campus aanwezig zijn. Dit rapport bevat een eerste verkenning van de huidige situatie met betrekking tot het vestigen van bedrijven op de grotere campussen/innovatiedistricten in Amsterdam. Wat gebeurt er momenteel op de campussen om bedrijven aan te trekken, te huisvesten, en te binden aan de campus? Welke locatieprofielen ontwikkelen zich?

De drie grootste Fontyssteden doen het niet bijster goed in de jaarlijkse Atlas van Nederlandse gemeenten. Je moet deze magere scores niet te serieus nemen, maar duidelijk is dat Eindhoven, Tilburg en Venlo wel wat vergroening kunnen gebruiken, zegt Cees-Jan Pen, lector de Ondernemende Regio aan Fontys Hogescholen Economie en Communicatie.

Background and aim – In practice, phone pods and office booths, hereafter referred to as pods, have proven their added value and popularity in open-plan offices. How would that work in another context, such as in higher education? This study explores use and user perceptions of these pods in an atrium on a Dutch university campus.Methods / Methodology – After placing nine pods, the effects were studied through document analysis, guest journey, direct observation (behaviour, indoor climate, bacteria, fungus), interview, and survey.Results – Students use the pods mainly for seven activities: meeting, project work, noise-free work, study, phone call, relaxation, or hang out. Students report a positive general experience of the pod, a very positive experience when entering the pod, and hardly any negative experiences. They feel at ease and the pods ensure better concentration. Finally, pod users reported to be a little less nervous than other atrium users.Originality – The studied pods are mostly applied in open-plan offices. By placing them in an atrium at a Dutch university campus the pods are exposed to different users, generating new user-related findings.Practical or social implications – In order to perform well, students need a variety of places on campus. An atrium is normally crowded, loud, and noisy. Pods provide an extra option, a space within a space, that students use and appreciate. By adding these tiny spaces to their repertoire, universities seem to be better aligned with user needs. Facility managers and researchers could consider experimenting with pods in other lively contexts.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to create an overview of current literature and identify gaps in what is known about stimulating interaction through spaces and services provided on university campuses.Design/methodology/approachThe authors used the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) statement methodology for systematic literature review. In total, 3,616 articles were screened, 31 articles were included. Facility Directors from 13 Dutch Universities were asked to define the search terms related to services.FindingsSpaces and services were mostly studied separately. The majority of papers (18/31) were based on perceptions (surveys or interviews). The following critical success factors were identified in the literature: geographic proximity, cognitive proximity, scale, transitional spaces, comfort and experience, shared facilities and events, local buzz and networks. These factors are interrelated. The authors present a new relational model, from spaces and services, through interaction to innovation, visualising how the identified papers are related.Research limitations/implicationsThe scope of possible findings may have been narrowed because prior relevant studies were rather limited and as a consequence of the search strategy designed to limit the number of unrelated hits. Some knowledge gaps may not have been identified, as only a few mainstream concepts related to the critical success factors were used for comparison. Nevertheless, the literature review provides a reliable overview of current academic knowledge regarding critical success factors for spaces and services that stimulate interaction on campuses.Originality/valueThis paper offers a novel perspective by emphasising the relational chain from interaction to innovation, visualising the large diversity in research fields and summarising the critical success factors in the literature.

Doordat er vele meningen zijn, vindt iedereen wel iets van maatschappelijk vastgoed en de besturing daarvan door corporaties. Maar wat is een toegangsbewijs voor een competitieve strategie van woningcorporaties om de druk van belanghebbenden te weerstaan? En hoe kan deze vorm gegeven worden met Corporate Real Estate Management (CREM) voor besturing van maatschappelijk vastgoed van een woningcorporatie? Dit artikel maakt deel uit van het promotie onderzoek Waardedenken & Besturen, een onderzoek naar maatschappelijk en financieel rendement van woningcorporaties

EuroSonic NoorderSlag (ESNS) actively engages with around 130 festivals across Europe as part of the ESNS Exchange program. As a leading partner in this initiative, ESNS aims to transition into a fully sustainable festival in the coming years. It recognizes its role in spearheading the sustainability aspect of the ESNS Exchange and the industry at large. However, the current lack of information regarding the industry's sustainability practices poses a challenge, leaving ESNS uncertain about the necessary steps to improve the market as a whole. The NHL Stenden Professorship Transformational Media, ESNS and the minor Music Management are collaborating on a joint project to address this issue. The project aims to assess the current state of sustainable practices in European Music Festivals and analyse how these festivals communicate their initiatives. Additionally, students in the Music minor program will create and test a prototype to encourage festivals to communicate about their sustainability activities.
