4. Radboud University, Behavioral Science Institute (RU BSI) presentation (15 min)
Toon Cillessen, Director, presents RU BSI. RU BSI conducts research on human behavior. The aim of the institute is both fundamental (‘to understand behavior’) and applied to societal challenges (‘to influence behavior’). A distinctive feature of the BSI is an integrative approach to human behavior that transcends the traditional disciplinary boundaries of psychology, education and communication science. Researchers within BSI work on the themes: 1. Development & Learning, 2. Psychopathology, Health and Well-Being, 3. Social Processes and Communication. BSI has over 200 employees, of which 100 are PhD students. Toon will update you on the latest developments on BSI, also in relation to the The Healthy Brain initiative by the Radboud University and possible fields of collaboration with businesses.
