Rowie Huijbregts
My name is Rowie Huijbregts, and as a researcher at TNO Vector I focus on societal challenges and strategic issues in the built environment.
I have a background in architectural engineering and public administration: at the Faculty of Architecture of the TU Delft I obtained my Bachelor and Master of Science, and at the Department of Public Administration of the Erasmus University Rotterdam I defended my PhD dissertation on the deployment of public real estate assets for the purpose of public value creation.
In my work at TNO Vector I find it important to bridge the gap between technology and natural sciences on the one hand and people and social sciences on the other hand. As a researcher I like to think along about how different actors in a given area or issue can bring together their own value judgments and views on matters in order to jointly arrive at innovative solutions.
