Samenvatting

 In summary we want to discuss:1) Courses and training in the field of nursing (General); elderly care, dementia and physical therapy.2) sending Chinese students to Groningen, Deventer3) training in the use of home automation and application of the technology in care homes, or in residential communities for seniors4) international cooperation, we strive for crossovers between schools and research centers, Hanze & Saxion and the possibility of organizing applied research at the Chinese organizations has been agreed. We now also have a Dutch healthcare organization that can serve as a model, and where we will also conduct research. (Tangenborgh from Emmen)There is a huge spread in the projects in which Heinrich, Jan and Jan Willem collaborate. Subjects range from studying domotica in the process of dementia in elderly care, to the transition from a collectivist society to a more individual society, both within the realm of social scientific research. Moreover, physical, biological and economical processes of change - for instance sampled by sensors- may also form the heart of the applied scientific interest of the team. The common thread is formed by the dynamic system description of the change processes over time. These are sometimes (within certain limits) linear, but much more often there is complex non-linear coherence, which, however, runs according to patterns (and therefore contains systematic components). Emergent properties, instead of determined linear chains. Modern data analysis techniques and insight into system thinking form the core. We work with beta talents, including IT specialists trained at ItVitae, in the Beta lab of Marcel Hurkens.
