Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam
Healthy Start Education Fellow
My name is Sam Riedijk and from 2025-2027 I have a Transdisciplinary Education Fellowship within the Healthy Start program. Currently I work as the educational director of the 2-year research master Genomics in Society.
I would love to get in touch with Healthy Starters who have become curious and are interested in obtaining a UTQ. The ambition of Healthy Start is to give Transdisciplinary Education a place within the program. We will start with creating online modules and hopefully in a sunny future Healthy Start will have its own master program. By creating transdisciplinary education together, we will create an education community within Healthy Start. Transdisciplinary education may be aimed at colleagues (e.g. transdisciplinary research skills), at societal stakeholders (e.g. valorizing Healthy Start research results), or for instance at third-year interested in a Healthy Start minor. A number of people have already signed up, and there is room for more.
I am very much looking forward to working together on Transdisciplinary Education within Healthy Start!
