Profile

Expertise

Martijn's research centres around Responsible Innovation and Mission Governance. In particular, he is interested in the ways and extent to which mission-oriented innovation policy promotes or inhibits responsible innovation. The governance of mission-oriented innovation largely determines this, and as such, Martijn studies how inclusive, anticipatory, reflexive, and responsive the governance processes surrounding mission-oriented innovation are. Some key questions that he works: who is included and excluded in mission-oriented innovation?; how are possible, probable, and desirable impacts of missions defined, foreseen, and evaluated?; how should conflicting ideas surrounding missions be navigated and reflected upon?; and how can policymakers align and converge values and worldviews of stakeholders?
