I am Gijs van Houwelingen, senior researcher collaborative business models at TNO Vector.
As a behavioral scientist, economist and philosopher, I am very interested in the human, social and behavioral aspects of the transitions to more sustainable and collaborative business models. I am a researcher at heart and am energized when I can provide relevant insights that really help stakeholders with solid research.
