As Program Manager Applied Research for the Business and Management Faculty of the Han University of Applied Research,  I am responsible for projects that stimulate  practice based research in close cooperation with the professional field.   In our Research Centre Business Development & Co-creation our interest lies in the development of knowledge within the themes: Organisation,  Communication and Innovation from a business perspective. This SCRIPTS project enables us to gain knowledge on all three themes with a special focus on co-creation and online interaction (communication).
