I want to share my expertise
Do you, as a researcher, entrepreneur, city employee... have an expertise in healthy movement & exercise?
- Advise us at the start of the project. What (technological) solutions or initiatives already exist? Why is it still a challenge? Discover our activity or see how researcher Emelien provided advice during the previous project.
- Provide advice when we brainstorm and create solutions. This way, we don't reinvent the wheel and ensure solutions that improve the world in every aspect. Discover our activity of read how the gastroenterologist Ercan provided advice during the previous project
- Test the first working prototypes when they are presented to a wide audience. Discover our activity
