How We Are Organized
The ARC-TWE is managed by the ARC management team (arctwe@hz.nl), which includes a lead professor (Jasper van Houcke), a research manager (Han van de Sandt), and a management assistant (Patricia Kwekkeboom). They provide guidance to the ten research groups in close coordination with professors and coordinators.
Each research group generally consists of a professor (lector), a coordinator, and several (teaching) researchers. The size varies per group, and sometimes roles are combined. A professor is responsible for initiating, developing, and conducting practice-oriented research. In interaction with the professional field and in connection with education, the professor promotes knowledge innovation and the professional development of teachers.
A coordinator is responsible for the daily management and direct supervision of the group’s staff, except for the (associate) professor.
Two Meetings
There are two ARC-wide meetings: the Professors and Coordinators Meeting (LCO, monthly) and the Coordinators Meeting (every six weeks). Documents from ARC-TWE can be found on the Teams page of the Applied Research Center TWE - LCO.
The ten research groups are:
Improving Sustainable Marine Aquaculture in the Dutch Delta
Applied research on managing future-proof assets
A healthy and truly sustainable built environment
How can you use natural processes to improve water safety and add natural value to areas?
Research into creating data products, especially those important in a delta region like Zeeland
Energy transition in deltas
Developing knowledge on the protein transition (use of new resources), the chemical properties of food components, and innovative circular processing methods
Applied oriented research for transitions towards a climate-resilient, adaptive society in delta areas
Research into how innovations can make logistical chains in Zeeland more efficient, responsive, sustainable, and competitive
Research on how to use or reuse water as efficiently as possible so that scarce fresh water can also be used for drinking
