    Towards a more inclusive society to raise awareness of basic skills gaps

    In the Netherlands, 2.5 million people struggle daily with reading, writing, math, and digital skills, also called basic skills.

    Community of Practice gaining momentum

    28 April 2021

    The community is gaining momentum; more and more Engine members are finding each other. We will keep organizing activities and workshops to help them to accelerate their projects. As an example, we changed our February webinar to a more interactive format and it was a great success. During the webinar, Lyla and Jasmijn Kok from the Juno Perinatal Healthcare project pitched their artificial womb and the community provided them with valuable input from their own experiences. That’s what it’s all about: sharing success and challenges and helping each other move forward.

    For the next webinar for the Eindhoven Engine internal community (29 april 2021), Professor Hans Krikhaar of Fontys University of Applied Sciences will present the SmartMan project. I hope to see the internal community there to help Hans in his mission to accelerate technological innovation in manufacturing in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

    “That’s what it’s all about: sharing success and challenges and helping each other move forward.”
