Welkom!

Via deze blog willen wij in eerste instantie onze collega's van het LIC op de hoogte houden van interessante nieuwe ontwikkelingen die we - waar dan ook - tegenkomen en die iets te maken hebben met innoveren op een professionele manier.
We starten dze blog op het moment dat we bijna afreizen naar de PBPR-conferentie, georganiseerd door EARLI, in Maastricht. We zullen proberen jullie al vanuit het verre zuiden van ons land op de hoogte te houden van wat ons daar treft!
