The Movez Network brings together research, education, and society in a 'blended stakeholder science' approach. Our aim is to find answers to society's questions from different perspectives. To do so, we seek broad collaboration with all relevant parties, with youth at the top of the list. The focus of the Movez Network is the well-being and digital media use of youth.
Read more about the research themes and partners within the Movez Network below.
Focuses on how to empower youth to use media more in a safe, responsible and healthy manner
Focuses on how artificial intelligence can be used to make young people smart, healthy and happy
Together with the partners within the Movez Network, we as Erasmus Movez Lab conduct research on the themes of youth, well-being and digital media. This way, we make the connection between research, education and society.
The Dutch Media Literacy Network (‘Netwerk Mediawijsheid’) is committed to working towards a future where everyone is – or is well on their way towards becoming – media literate. Media literacy allows one to move more easily and more securely through a society in which (online) media play an increasingly important role.
Bitescience makes scientific knowledge accessible and attractive for professionals involved with communication and media, by translating the latest, most relevant, and highest quality academic insights into bite-size portions.
Talentzskool aims to effectively contribute to talent development, poverty alleviation, breaking social isolation and social exclusion among children and families. Increasing opportunities promotes the abilities of children and families and lays the foundation for a bright future.
"Kijkwijzer" informs parents and educators of age groups that are at possible risk of being negatively influenced by a TV program or film.

In the Erasmus SYNC lab they investigate the dynamic development of the adolescent brain. They want to understand how young people become engaged citizens in society. In their research, society, youth and neuroscience are inextricably linked together. SYNC therefore stands for Society, Youth and Neuroscience Connected.
BRICS lab researches how we can ensure that people start living healthier lives and remain healthy. Their research aims to have a positive lasting impact on science and the society. To meet this goal, they combine psychology, child and family studies with other disciplines such as sociology, health sciences (public health and epidemiology), public administration, behavioral economics and communication media studies. This approach allows for inclusion of underrepresented groups.
ErasmusX focuses on helping Erasmus University students to develop themselves in the best way they can, so they are prepared to meet the ever-changing demands of the future. Because this future is constantly changing, they are looking for ways in which education should adapt and innovate so it can continue to valuably impact student lives and serve as a great launch platform for their future careers.
At the Netherlands and Flanders Communication Association (NeFCA), we exchange knowledge and collaborate with other researchers. During the annual conference, we share our latest research and get inspiration in the field of communication science.
