On Thursday afternoon, December 20, the EMGO Institute met for an informal drink at the café attached to the VU University medical center. This was a great occasion to look back at a good year for the EMGO institute (http://www.emgo.nl/) . We had good scientific accomplishments with more than 20 PhD theses, Over 300 publications in Science Citation Index or Social Science Citation Index journals, and good acquisition of projects that will ensure scientific output for the years to come.
Our societal impact was also of good quality with policy and media attention for many of our projects, for example regarding e-health interventions, patient safety research, childhood obesity, and studies on environmental determinants of health lifestyles.
The year to come also looks good, with many interesting ongoing projects within our four research tracks, and some very interesting opportunities for additional research projects. One of these opportunities is research to test physical activity and training programs for cancer patients to build evidence based cancer rehabilitation programs, in collaboration with and supported by Alp-dhuzes (http://www.alpe-dhuzes.nl/templates/mercury.asp?page_id=1473). This is a yearly sponsored cycling event on the Alp D’Huez mountain to raise money for cancer research. I get back on this topic in the weeks to come.
Another important event in the coming year will be the preparation and probabale start of an interfaculty research institute together with partners from the faculty of Psychology and Education and the faculty of Earth and Life Sciences.
The next week I will celebrate Christmas with family and friends and then go to Norway for some days to do cross country skiing.
I wish you all a very merry Christmas and a great new year.
