Chris Kuiper serves as a Lecturer at Leiden University of Applied Sciences and holds a special professorship at the University of Amsterdam's Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences, focusing on the Intergenerational Transmission of Risk and Protective Factors in the Upbringing of Youth. Additionally, he is Director of Innovation and Quality at iHUB, demonstrating his multifaceted engagement across academic, research, and practical youth care domains. His educational background includes completing his dissertation 'Eventmaker' in 2007 at the University for Humanistic Studies, after beginning his career as an occupational therapist. Professor Kuiper's research interests span youth care innovation, behavioral problems in young people, residential education, and integrated care approaches, with a strong emphasis on involving young people as co-researchers in his work. Professor Kuiper's research output shows a consistent focus on practical applications in youth care settings. His recent publications address critical issues such as group climate in residential care, family-centered practice, safety perceptions in special education, and the impact of organizational transformations in youth care facilities. His work demonstrates a commitment to methodologically sound research that directly addresses practical challenges in the field. Chairman of the Supervisory Board at Dutch Occupational Therapy Association Chair of the Steering Committee for the Quality Compass at Association for Disability Care Netherlands Chair of the working group Revision of the Residential Youth Care Guidelines 2022-2024 at Netherlands Youth Institute Professor Kuiper supervises both completed and ongoing PhD research, with a particular focus on vulnerable youth, residential care effectiveness, and integrated youth care approaches. His 'Working Together, Learning Together' learning network exemplifies his commitment to connecting research, education, and practice through collaborative knowledge development involving professionals, students, young people, and parents. His research group 'Valuable Care' operates on the principle that meaningful change in youth care requires multiple perspectives - professionals, researchers, policymakers, young people, and parents all contributing to solutions. This multi-voiced approach underpins his belief that no single perspective alone can improve youth care systems.

Martijn Priem serves as a Researcher and Policy Advisor at the Business Innovation Knowledge Center of Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences, where he has worked since 2014. He represents the university at the Dutch Platform for Entrepreneurship (NLPO) and leads the societal challenge project focused on creating a 'future-proof economy.' His work bridges commercial, educational, and creative domains to foster entrepreneurial mindsets across Rotterdam's educational institutions. His research interests center on experiential learning, innovation, and entrepreneurship education in the broadest sense - focusing on developing skills to deal with uncertainty and complexity, identify opportunities, and create multiple forms of value (beyond financial prosperity to include wellbeing). He emphasizes that sustainable change begins with individual awareness and ownership, believing education serves as a crucial catalyst for systemic transition. Analysis of his recent publications reveals a consistent focus on transdisciplinary entrepreneurship education, action research methodologies, and teacher development. His work increasingly examines how to create learning environments that help educators and students become aware of their influence and develop behavioral change. The O2LAB Rotterdam project represents a culmination of his decade of research, connecting different educational levels (MBO, HBO, WO) and domains to embed entrepreneurial mindset into the DNA of Rotterdam's educational institutions. Martijn actively develops train-the-trainer programs and coordinates educational initiatives including minors like 'Creative Concepts Into Business' and 'Turning Innovation Into Business.' His approach emphasizes 'practice what you preach,' believing real change requires leading by example rather than finger-pointing. He views education as foundational for addressing urgent societal challenges like climate change, polarization, and inequality through collective action. As project leader for O2LAB Rotterdam, he collaborates with Erasmus Centre for Entrepreneurship and other educational institutions to promote entrepreneurial education across economic, art, technology, and healthcare domains. His work aims to increase education's societal impact by connecting different educational levels and domains, with teachers as central agents of change who can help students learn to contribute to building a better world.
