              Netwerk Mensgebonden Onderzoek (NMO)

              The research network was revived in mid-2024 under the name: 'Netwerk Mensgebonden Onderzoek'. The goal remains the same: to connect research professionals more easily and to promote knowledge exchange. It is intended for research coordinators, research nurses and research staff, but other stakeholders are also welcome to join. On this platform, you can ask questions, post topics you want to know more about or submit suggestions among colleagues. A conscious decision was made not to have a specific point of contact, just the platform, so that we can jointly share knowledge and expand the network to ensure success. Every now and then a meeting is organised. Keep an eye on the teams site.

              You can sign up to NMO via teams. On the tab 'Teams' you will see an icon with a plus 'become a member or join a team' . Click on that and you will see a field to enter a code. The code is: loehk91
