Education and PVE

A lot of research is being done to further develop PVE and the method is applied by various governments. In addition, PVE plays an increasingly important role in education. Graduates from different faculties use PVE as a method in their thesis. Our team supervises various graduation projects and tries to link projects to urgent scientific and social research questions. To ensure that students can learn from each other, we organize a monthly thesis circle for graduates, in which students give feedback on each other's graduation projects and share tips or findings. Whether a student is interested in complex transport problems, healthcare, or the energy transition: PVE has many different applications. Because PVE is a new method, there are still many empirical questions about new applications of PVE. Besides, there are also methodological questions about the analysis of the data and the linking of the results to decision-making processes.

Students value using the PVE tool for their research, because it allows them to easily apply a digital tool that is based on proven methodology and yields tangible results on citizens preferences for government policies. Conducting a PVE is also feasible within a given thesis time frame.
