The importance of teaching engineering students innovation development is commonly clearly understood. It is essential to achieve products which are attractive and profitable in the market. To achieve this, an institute of engineering education has to provide students with needed knowledge, skills and attitudes including both technical and business orientation. This is important especially for SME’s. Traditionally, education of engineering provides students with basic understanding how to solve common technical problems. However companies need wider view to achieve new products. Universities of applied Sciences in Oulu and Eindhoven want to research what is the today’s educational situation for this aim, to find criteria to improve the content of the educational system, and to improve the educational system. Important stakeholders are teachers and students within the institute but also key-persons in companies. The research is realized by questionnaires and interviews from which a current situation can be found. The research will also include the opinion of management who give possibilities to change the curriculum. By this research more insight will be presented about how to re-design a current curriculum. The research will act as basis for this discussion in SEFI-conference about formulating a curriculum that includes elements for wide-ranging knowledge and skills to achieve innovations especially in SME’s.

The latest IPCC Report (2022) provided by the UN shows us that, to guarantee a safe future for upcoming generations, we must change how we lead our lives on several levels. However, the increasing urgency to act and behave in a way that is not damaging the climate is bringing many psychological concerns to young generations. Worldwide reports are demonstrating how the issue of eco-anxiety is increasing daily, and how young people are feeling more hopeless than ever. Climate change has become a climate crisis, and individuals are experiencing pressure and fear incessantly (Marks et al., 2021). We, as Climate Streamers, have often found ourselves in this situation as well, but rather than freezing, we decided to take this challenge and think of solutions. Therefore, with the support of Breda University of Applied Sciences, the Performatory community, the BUas Startup Support Team, and outside mentors, we created Climate Streamers Foundation: a new youth-led non-profit organisation and a movement working towards a more inclusive and less polarised climate action. By working with leisure elements and a positive and appreciative approach, we want to give back hope, voice and power to the youth and inspire each other genuinely and sustainably. The purpose of this application is to allow us to elaborate a feasibility study concerning our MVP (minimum viable product), the card game, and boost the overall concept. We intend to implement the researched data to improve the design and sales management. The card game aims to stimulate appreciative conversations by giving space to players to express their opinions and personal stories and it is designed so everyone can play it, regardless of background and knowledge. After giving 200 games in production, we launched the card game in July 2022.
Being objective as a journalist indicates a distance to your sources and maintaining the role of a neutral bystander. This principle echoes in journalism education; generally speaking, to call something objective is a compliment and to say something is subjective is a warning. This journalistic role perception faces criticism since the late twentieth century. There’s extensive scholarly research looking to bridge the gap between objectivism and subjectivism, but journalistic education still widely prioritizes a binary perception of these principles, putting a strong emphasis on objective reporting. This PD aims to integrate artistic practices into journalism education that advocate a more balanced approach of the assumed objective-subjective dichotomy. One such approach is live journalism, where the artistic method extends to productional outcome, usually in the form of a journalistic narrative brought before a live audience. Research shows that, whereas visitors still think such productions should be fact-based, the fact that journalists had (made) a personal connection to their subject was seen as essential to the credibility of their work. This presupposes that journalism in this context is not merely a profession, but rather a person carrying out a profession. This PD intends to not only accept a certain subjectivity, but to explore its potential in journalism education. It plays with the concept not as being or becoming personally opinionated as a journalist, but as subjecting the self as a reporter. Research shows that for journalists, such an active connection to a target audience and an attitude to want to hear more than an answer to a question leads to a more representative understanding of the position and predicaments of a social group. In this light, the objective and subjective do not present themselves as a T-junction where the journalist chooses either one or the other; they appear in mutuality.
Verpleegkundigen werken midden in een breed scala aan maatschappelijke en professionele debatten over onder meer zeggenschap, arbeidsmarktkrapte, functiedifferentiatie en persoonsgerichte zorg. Tegelijkertijd zijn verpleegkundigen de ideale woordvoerder, vertaler en vertolker van het verpleegkundige vak én belangenbehartiger voor waardevolle zorg. Dit vraagt om verpleegkundig opinieleiderschap, om het zorgbeleid en de publieke opinie te beïnvloeden. Doel Samen met verpleegkundigen uit de praktijk inhoud en vorm geven aan publiek opinieleiderschap binnen de verpleegkundige context en daarmee de publieke opinie, het beleid en de politiek beïnvloeden. Resultaten - Een actuele definitie van publiek opinieleiderschap in de context van de verpleegkundige praktijk. - Evaluatie van het programma opinieleiderschap voor verpleegkundigen. - Beschrijving van de impact van het leiderschapsprogramma op de overtuigingen, opvattingen en vaardigheden van deelnemers, met betrekking tot publiek opinieleiderschap binnen de verpleegkundige praktijk. Looptijd 01 september 2018 - 01 september 2023 Aanpak Met behulp van een actieonderzoeks-gerichte benadering wordt een leiderschapprogramma ontwikkeld, uitgevoerd en geëvalueerd. Met behulp van een conceptanalyse wordt een actuele definitie geformuleerd van publiek opinieleiderschap in de verpleegkundige context. Die definitie wordt getoetst aan de praktijk. Impact Meer inzicht in publiek opinieleiderschap kan als uitgangspunt dienen voor verder debat over betrokkenheid, zeggenschap en invloed van verpleegkundigen. Dat draagt bij aan de aantrekkelijkheid en verdere professionalisering van het beroep. Cofinanciering Beroepsorganisatie voor zorgprofessionals in Nederland, NU’91
