Dr. Yvonne de Kluizenaar studied Environmental health at Wageningen University & Research and did her PhD research in Societal health care at ErasmusMC.

We have invited eleven fellow-scientists from various universities and different disciplines to talk about their research findings. What is the meaning of their research for society, particularly for citizen collectives, commons, and cooperative social enterprises. What insights from science can people put into practice on a daily basis?

Inaugural lecture Tine De Moor
2023-02-17 16:00 - 17:15
Prof.dr. T. (Tine) De Moor will publicly accept her appointment as professor of Social Enterprises and Institutions for Collective Action at Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University on Friday 17 February 2023 with an inaugural lecture entitled Shakeholder society? Social Enterprises, citizens and collective action in the community economy.

How to deal with the grand challenges of our current society? We know what to do, often discuss who should be taking the lead in this (governments? Companies? Consumers?) and there are many technological innovations that could help but we still fall short of making our economy more regenerative. Can a focus on an economy steered by the needs and collective action of citizens help us forward? Do citizens want to be involved and if so what happens already today? What are the benefits but also potential negative effects and pitfalls of enabling cooperative social enterprises? In “Shakeholder society?” Tine De Moor looks at the possibilities of bringing the roles of stakeholders and shareholders closer together.
