In collaboration with academics, she explores how these two domains can better align and strengthen one another. In addition, she supports partners in communicating their research projects clearly and effectively.

The project demonstrates that even designing something seemingly simple, such as an assignment card, involves numerous decisions, and that these decisions are key to enabling the conversations required for successful implementation.<br\/><br\/>Read more about the ENEP co-creation process and strategic design: <a href=\"https:\/\/8d.nl\/en\/co-designing-for-accessible-healthcare\/\">https:\/\/8d.nl\/en\/co-designing-for-accessible-healthcare\/<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nicole van den Berg Research Communication Strategist Mission: Making complex information understandable and relevant for diverse audiences; from funding bodies to end users and the general public.
