Collaboration

Connect and collaborate with us 

At ERD, we believe in bridging the gap between academic research and professional practice. Through meaningful partnerships, we work with organizations to improve learning, talent development, and HRD practices in the workplace — both locally and internationally.

We welcome opportunities to collaborate, co-create knowledge, and exchange expertise. Below you’ll find the ways in which you can connect and work with us.

Research projects. Our academic staff and PhD candidates regularly partner with organizations to explore pressing questions in workplace learning and Human Resources Development. By contributing to data collection or co-defining research topics, your organization can access state-of-the-art insights grounded in rigorous research.

Consultancy & Expertise. Our team brings expertise in learning and development, coaching, performance management, assessment, competency frameworks, and learning climate. If your organization has questions, challenges, or learning needs on some of those topics, we can provide consultancy services related them.

Training & Workshops. Over the years, we’ve developed a range of trainings and workshops on learning and development topics.

We also provide some of these workshops within larger-scale training programmes provided by UMIO https://www.umio.nl/nl/, the University’s department in charge of executive education.
