Innovator in the Spotlight

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. These deficiencies make it difficult for them to fully participate in society, such as reading and understanding a letter or buying a train ticket, leading to various personal and societal problems.

Impactful Innovations Webinar – part 3

On 10 July, the third webinar of our Impactful Innovation series was held. The goal of the webinar series is to not only share challenges, innovations and impacts across Eindhoven Engine projects but also to actively work towards cross-project group interactions in order to unlock our collective intelligence.

This particular webinar was dedicated to two exciting topics. In the first presentation, Joep van der Velden (Kropman) took us into the world of continuous monitoring and fault detection of large HVAC systems (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) in order to reduce CO2 emissions. This was followed by Lukas Dekker (Catharina Ziekenhuis, TU/e), who presented the need and vision for value-based, outcome- and technology-driven future healthcare based upon innovation ecosystems.

It is very inspiring to see that these webinars are contributing to cross-organizational interactions. Big thanks to both Joep and Lukas for their excellent and enthusiastic presentations and, of course, to all participants who are enabling our collective intelligence. We look forward to the next webinar!
