What does youth's increasing media use mean for their well-being? What positive effects can this media use have? And how do we combat the digital divide? The Movez Lab and Netwerk Mediawijsheid are working together on these themes, towards a media-literate Dutch population. Read more about it here!
The algorithmic society (ALGOSOC) consortium receives the Gravitation Grant for research on safeguarding public values and human rights in the development of (semi-)automated processes, such as Artificial Intelligence (AI). Moniek and Esther from the Movez Lab are part of ALGOSOC and are pleased with this opportunity for research and multidisciplinary collaboration.
The Erasmus initiative 'Societal Impact of AI' aims to bring together knowledge around AI from different disciplines and co-creates with society.
During our minor 'Positive behavioural change in the digital age', students from Erasmus University Rotterdam get to work on social issues of organisations. Perhaps a collaboration with our minor students can also be interesting for your organisation.
The Erasmus University Rotterdam has established the Erasmus AiPact, a collaboration between science and society to fully leverage the potential of AI and minimize the risks. Art is crucial in this collaboration because it helps us imagine the future, gives us purpose and has potential for socially relevant goals.

At the Movez Lab, we primarily conduct research on young people. For this, we ask the permission of their parents, but in what way do parents find this most preferable?
It is important to encourage young people to adopt healthy lifestyles because they are prone to unhealthy habits and behaviours. Researchers at the Movez Lab have therefore developed a new method to effectively reach young people through their social network for health campaigns.
