The integration of research activities in universities of applied sciences (UASs) has led to the transformation of these universities into organisations with two primary processes: research and education. Although many believe in the benefits of combining research and education in one organisation, which is referred to as synergy in this study, research–education synergies have rarely been empirically investigated, particularly in the UAS context. Thus, this research investigates the intended synergy between the research and education of UASs by conducting a document analysis of their university-wide strategic policy. The findings show that UASs aim for synergies among people, UAS organisations and outside UAS organisations, with a focus on education-oriented synergies. This study provides an initial understanding of the strategic aims of UASs considering research–education synergy. The findings provide direction and a framework for future research and form a base for making explicit strategic choices for research–education connections in universities.
Symposium ESWRA - ECSWR 2016: empirical ethics in social work. Objective: ethical aspects of social work (esp. at home) Structure: cooperation of the research group of UAS Utrecht Netherlands with six regional welfare organizations Method: practice based ethics research Focus on professional practice: learning from moral experiences in frontline practice (cf. Van Doorn, 2008) Hybrid approach: combining theoretical resources and professional practice (cf. Banks & Gallagher, 2009) Mixed methods: desk research, interviews, best practice units (BPU), development of ethical tools
De studie beschrijft het antwoord op de vraag de situatie van de alumni van IBS is op de beroepsmarkt. 6 Subvragen zijn gesteld en beantwoord. De vragen zijn1. Hoeveel IBS studenten studeerden af tussen 1990 en2017?2. Wat zijn de meest voorkomende beroepen en functies?3. Is ter een relatie tussen de keuze van afstudeers minor en het beroep van de alumni?4.Welke bedrijven nemen IBS alumni in dienst?5. Waar werken IBS alumni, hoe internationaal is de alumnus?6. Wat is het studie verloop na het IBS Bachelor diploma.De volgende conclusies zijn getrokken.1. Het aantal afgestudeerden lijkt omlaag te gaan. De samenstelling van nationaliteiten lijkt momenteel te verschillen van die aan het begin van de studie. 2. Het curriculum weerspiegelt het meerendeel van de beroepen van de alumni, aan Sales wordt in het curriculum minder aandacht besteed dan het aantal banen die vervuld worden. 3. De minoren vormen een goede afspiegeling van de beroepen. Er is evenwel geen sterke relatie tussende gekozen minor en het uiteindelijk gekozen beroep, wat het beeld versterkt dat IBS een generieke beroepsopleiding is. 4. Alumni werken in meerderheid voor grote internationaal opererende bedrijven. De meest voorkomende zijn te vinden onder de financials, digitale service providers, de retail en consumenten goederen.5. De alumni van IBS werken zeer internationaal. Het lijkt evenwel dat de meest recente alumni minder geneigd zijn in het buitenland te werken. Een mogelijke verklaring kan ook zijn dat er bij internationaal werkende bedrijven in Duitsland en Nederland voldoende banen te vinden zijn. Een ander beeld dat zich aandient dat Nederland voor veel buitenlandse studenten een vestigingsland is voor een professionele carriere.6. Een bachelor opleiding is nog steeds een goed fundament voor een business carriere aangezien voor 2/3 van de alumni het bachelor diploma het hoogst behaalde diploma is.
Digital transformation has been recognized for its potential to contribute to sustainability goals. It requires companies to develop their Data Analytic Capability (DAC), defined as their ability to collect, manage and analyze data effectively. Despite the governmental efforts to promote digitalization, there seems to be a knowledge gap on how to proceed, with 37% of Dutch SMEs reporting a lack of knowledge, and 33% reporting a lack of support in developing DAC. Participants in the interviews that we organized preparing this proposal indicated a need for guidance on how to develop DAC within their organization given their unique context (e.g. age and experience of the workforce, presence of legacy systems, high daily workload, lack of knowledge of digitalization). While a lot of attention has been given to the technological aspects of DAC, the people, process, and organizational culture aspects are as important, requiring a comprehensive approach and thus a bundling of knowledge from different expertise. Therefore, the objective of this KIEM proposal is to identify organizational enablers and inhibitors of DAC through a series of interviews and case studies, and use these to formulate a preliminary roadmap to DAC. From a structure perspective, the objective of the KIEM proposal will be to explore and solidify the partnership between Breda University of Applied Sciences (BUas), Avans University of Applied Sciences (Avans), Logistics Community Brabant (LCB), van Berkel Logistics BV, Smink Group BV, and iValueImprovement BV. This partnership will be used to develop the preliminary roadmap and pre-test it using action methodology. The action research protocol and preliminary roadmap thereby developed in this KIEM project will form the basis for a subsequent RAAK proposal.
The AR in Staged Entertainment project focuses on utilizing immersive technologies to strengthen performances and create resiliency in live events. In this project The Experiencelab at BUas explores this by comparing live as well as pre-recorded events that utilize Augmented Reality technology to provide an added layer to the experience of the user. Experiences will be measured among others through observational measurements using biometrics. This projects runs in the Experience lab of BUas with partners The Effenaar and 4DR Studio and is connected to the networks and goals related to Chronosphere, Digireal and Makerspace. Project is powered by Fieldlab Events (PPS / ClickNL)..
The BECEE initiative represents a transformative collaboration between four leading European HEIs—Hanze University of Applied Sciences (HUAS), Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW), South East Technological University (SETU), and Universiteti "Aleksandër Moisiu" Durrës (UAMD). Our consortium embodies the essence of BECEE and the EIT Knowledge Triangle Model because it also comprises of 4 industry partners (KPN, Eindhoven, The Netherlands, Innofuse, Zurich, Switzerland, Dungarvan Enterprise Centre, South East, Ireland, and Linda Laboratory, Durrës, Albania) bringing together partners from education, research, and business who are equally committed to collaborate on innovation action plans to fostering balanced collaborative entrepreneurship ecosystems in our respective regions. This consortium, therefore, is strategically designed to pool diverse strengths, creating a synergetic force for innovation and entrepreneurship that transcends the capabilities of any single organisation.
