A promising start!
In November 2024, the PROMISE-project was officially launched with an interactive Kick-Off event with our societal partners!
Following a pleasant lunch, we began with an engaging presentation by project leader Tineke Fokkema, who introduced us to the mission and goals of the project. The presentation sparked a lively discussion, during which our societal partners asked valuable questions and shared insightful perspectives.
Afterward, it was time to roll up our sleeves together! In interactive sessions, our societal partners reflected on their contributions to the project. Using a participation matrix, they indicated how they would like to be involved – from brainstorming and taking initiative to staying informed. It was wonderful to see great ideas emerging right from the start for further shaping the project!
The day concluded with an informal networking event, where the first steps toward collaboration between science and practice were celebrated.
We look forward to a fruitful collaboration and to all the great outcomes we will achieve together!
