Professor of Communication, Participation & Social-Ecological Learning (CoPSEL) at Van Hall Larenstein University of Applied Sciences.
After a long period of working in the Caribbean and Central America, Loes Witteveen is working as a professor of the Communication, Participation & Social- Ecological Learning (CoPSEL) research group. Her research focuses on user-centred design, communication and dialogue in complex transition processes and social-ecological learning.
Current research in the Netherlands takes place in relation to citizen participation in climate adaptation at different locations and scales, living labs and dialogue at system level in area processes and water management-related themes, specifically in the wadden and river area. Internationally, Loes lectures in various Living Labs in Indonesia, Nepal and the Dutch Caribbean municipalities. Besides her work at VHL, Loes is a guest researcher at WUR in the Knowledge, Technology group where she focuses on visual research methods.
The CoPSEL professorship is a transdisciplinary professorship with an integrative way of working. CoPSEL focuses on knowledge creation, participatory governance and social dialogue in open innovation systems such as 'Living Labs' in which the private sector, governments, knowledge institutions and citizens work together. Applying an 'experience capitalisation' perspective emphasises the group's interest in documenting and sharing research results for use by society, business and education.
