This research day facilitates the interdisciplinary sharing of expertise and helps to create (new) networks and collaborations. Researchers affiliated with the IOS platform will present their work and professor Tine De Moor (Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University) will give a keynote lecture on the maturation of citizen collectives in the Netherlands. She will explore how these initiatives have grown into a diverse and influential movement shaping energy, housing, care and food systems through democratic governance, local stewardship and long‑term community orientation. Their evolution shows that such collectives are not a temporary trend, but a vital complementary governance form whose impact on just and sustainable transitions is increasingly visible across Dutch society.
