18 Valorisation Enlarging the impact of scholarly knowledge on society Scholars tend to regard themselves as commissioned to send Particularly challenging for humanities Dual PhD-Centre tries to turn this around, and invite parties from society to apply for scholarly knowledge, and commit themselves to producing it Universiteit Leiden. Bij ons leer je de wereld kennen.

19 Dual PhD candidates A dual PhD is a degree pursued next to a job The candidate s employer is involved by sponsoring the project and providing research time to the candidate The mission of the Dual PhD Centre is to connect practice and academe to produce scientific research by and for practice that is equally rigorous and relevant Benefits for both academia and practice More interesting and relevant research is produced Industry gains quicker access to new research insights Universiteit Leiden.

20 Connecting academics and practice 1) The research question is typically directly derived from the work context of the candidate 2) Knowledge produced is then fed back into practice Employer typically has a direct interest in the results of the research Dual PhD research tends to be more applied, cross- and interdisciplinary than typical PhD research Universiteit Leiden.

21 The Dual PhD Centre Candidates are supported throughout their dissertation trajectory In their first year candidates complete a pre-phd Several courses (research design, academic writing, etc) Write research proposal After the proposal has been approved Candidate connected to promoter Centre offers process support (e.g. coaching) Universiteit Leiden.

in the Hague, first as a Diabetes Nurse and from 2010 as Nurse Practitioner

23 Researcher s profile Judith van Niel Nurse practitioner Chronic Diseases Specialized in Diabetes Care Since 1994 working in Haaglanden Medical Center in the Hague, first as a Diabetes Nurse and from 2010 as Nurse Practitioner Start of research in October 2016 Universiteit Leiden. Bij ons leer je de wereld kennen.

24 Reason for research For many decades medical research has been conducted concerning the question of why type 2 diabetes and its complications has a comparatively very high pervalence among South Asians Purely medical research into, e.g., genetic factors has yielded no clear results Around the world, it is clear that lifestyle (diet and exercise) is an important factor for developing type 2 diabetes But what is the influence of disease perception and culture. Is there difference as big when we make a comparison with a similar indigenous population of a common SES? Universiteit Leiden. Bij ons leer je de wereld kennen.

25 Haaglanden Medical Center initiated this research Medical issues Age at onset of diabetes Blood pressure en lipids profile Complications/disease process HbA1c Medication use Number of hospitalizations Difference in number of interventions Social and Cultural Issues Disease perception Vision of the role of doctors and nurses Role of social context Ways of communication and education Psychological factors, stress, depression Diet and lifestyle Number of no-show on appointments Universiteit Leiden.

26 Implementation of the survey Medical aspects Retrospectively from: - Database (EPD DiabetesNed) - Hospital information system (HIX / Ezis) Social aspects Retrospectively from: - Database (EPD Diabetes Ned) (adherence, disease perception, depression, living situation, workplace etc.) - Hospital information system HIX/ Ezis (number of no show, number of hospital visits/contacts, number of hopitalization) Universiteit Leiden.

27 Interpretation The collection and processing of all these data will in the end yield many points of comparison that will require interpretation Input from cultural anthropology and specialist knowledge about Surinam and the Dutch Hindustan community Input from behavioral sciences Medical and statistic research enriched by humanities and social sciences Universiteit Leiden.

28 Practitioners and scholars meet Medical Centres observe and have data at their disposition LUMC professors provide scientific supervision Daily practice and academic research link up Dual PhD Centre provides basic education, facilities and extra support in supervision, and, where necessary, mediates between parties Universiteit Leiden.

29 Expectations Interest from both government and the corporate world in dual PhD research is clearly growing Dutch minister of education intends to significantly increase number of PhD graduates in both public service and the private sector. Part of this increase will come from Dual PhD s Employers are increasingly dissatisfied with other post-experience education options E.g. MBA, MPA, executive masters Clear need for more applied research Valorization remains an important goal for academy. The Dual PhD trajectory offers an attractive model to achieve this PhD research is too important to be left to universities Active involvement outside world is crucial to make sure right issues and questions are addressed Universiteit Leiden.

32 Regional Impact reinventing the Science of Public Administration Valorisatiecongres Tilburg 2016 Prof.dr. Arwin van Buuren

33 Content Background of our discipline Revaluation of valorization Ambitions Completing Social Valorization Value Chains Intervention/design-oriented research approaches Agenda

34 Background Public Administration = Bestuurskunde Long tradition of close collaboration with public domain Societal focus: publication culture, dual functions/transfers, research Since begin of the century more international publication culture Stronger focus on quantitative research, methodology, h-indexes Crowding out effect?

35 Revaluation of valorization Visitation committee (2014): Quality: 5 Quantity: 5 Societal impact: 4,5 Viability: 4,5 Erasmus University Verzilvering van kapitaal (2013) New research program on Governance Capacity Feedback

36 Ambitions in new research program (2015) To increase the societal relevance of our research To prevent for a trade-off with our other activities Two directions: 1) Starting an incubator to complete Social Valorization Value Chains 2) Developing a more design-oriented research approach

37 1) Completing Social Valorization Value Chains

38 Valorization as a competence Start of an incubator as a professional environment for valorization Search for research themes suitable for valorization Developing tools, methods, approaches for public domain Development and execution by dedicated people Staff members involved as academic partner for scientific expertise & quality Benefits: - impact and network, external visibility - new data, cases, hypotheses, research questions - funding for new Ph.D. positions

39 Some examples Impact Assessment Public Branding Public Innovation Capacity Assessment Learning Evaluation Method for governance processes & practices

40 Intervention/design-oriented research approaches Searching for research methods that combine fact-finding and valorization? - Participatory research (focus on close interaction with practitioners, room for reflection, evaluation) - Experimental research (focus on controlled intervention, knowledge as a hypothesis, different types of experiments) - Action Research (changing policy practice and testing a general theory of action). - Design-oriented research (applying design logic to tackle concrete issues with help of scientific expertise, testing and refining solutions) Presupposes more structural, longitudinal collaboration Requires willingness to allow for (mutual) involvement / influence

42 Agenda To complete more social valorization value chains To develop a design methodology for Public Administration To start a couple of Governance Design Labs to enhance our (regional) impact
