We are honored and proud that CollectieveKracht, our knowledge sharing platform for citizen collectives, has received the 1st KHMW Brouwer Vertrouwensprijs (Brouwer Trust Prize). ‘The jury – together with the people behind the knowledge platform – believes that trust must be anchored in the collective power of a society’, according to the jury report.

The accolade comes with €100,000 in funding, which will contribute to the continuity and consolidation of the platform. ‘This prize validates the value of supporting science to strengthen trust within society,’ said Tine De Moor, founder of CollectieveKracht and professor at Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University. ‘It shows that our efforts to bridge the gap between science and society are resonating. Initiatives like this remind us that trust is an essential foundation for collective action and societal progress.’ Read more about the award and our knowledge platform.
