💡Have you heard about the winners of the latest edition of the ASI Seed Money Program? 🚀We present to you the second winning project: "Supporting Sustainable Diet Policies by Knowledge-based AI" led by an interdisciplinary team consisting of Dr. Filip Ilievski and Dr. Reinout Heijungs. 🍏Food has a strong impact on the planet and has been linked to increased #CO2emissions (Henriksson et al., 2021). Within the context of #food policies, part of the challenge is linked to estimating the #footprint of food’s life cycle. The data for each of these aspects largely exists but it is fragmented, making effective decision-making by policymakers difficult. 🤔This project aims to support policymakers for sustainable diet policies by an interdisciplinary research that combines sustainability theories and resources with knowledge-based artificial intelligence (#AI) technologies. A successful project will result in a compelling proof-of-concept application to pave the way for a new paradigm that combines knowledge technologies with deep domain insight from life cycle assessment (#LCA) and sustainability. 🌱The Seed Money Program is the annual grant by ASI awarded to innovative research projects at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU Amsterdam) to foster #interdisciplinary collaboration across VU faculties. The projects are intended to strengthen the VU profile theme of “Science for Sustainability”. 👇Learn more about this project through the link below

🔹 The IN SITU research team from the Utrecht University designed and conducted the additional analysis “Gender of Cultural and Creative Occupations in IN SITU Lab Areas”, with the aim of contributing to elucidate the profile of cultural and creative employment in those regions with an emphasis on women’s participation. 🔗 Read and download the complete report by visiting our resources section: https://lnkd.in/dxkzNhzJ #insituculture#nonurbanregions#gender#culturalemployment#creativeemployment#socioeconomicresilience#socioeconomiccontributions#culturalandcreativeindustries

Want to learn more about the use of generative AI in programming education? Check out this article I helped develop for my research group! We explored how teachers in the Information and Computing Sciences department used, thought about, and controlled students' use of GenAI tools. We're also currently collecting data from students; I'll share our findings from my peers later this year.

Finally out as a discussion paper (comments welcome!): my research, funded by the Dutch Research Council's Open Competition XS, reveals that individual beliefs about the role of work in our lives, called work orientations, significantly influence labor market behaviors like job engagement and quit intentions. Findings from novel data I collected as part of the Dutch LISS study indicate that individuals who view their work as a calling are more engaged and less likely to support minimal job effort compared to those who see work merely as a means to earn a living. This challenges traditional economic views of worker motivations, underscoring the importance of personal work beliefs in shaping labor market actions. Link to paper: https://lnkd.in/eA47kpmr

The first paper of my PhD has been published in the Journal of Macroeconomics! Together with Dennis Bonam and Koen van der Veer, we investigated the interplay between monetary and fiscal policies. Our findings reveal that the effectiveness of monetary policy in influencing inflation is contingent on fiscal policy. Specifically, monetary policy can effectively raise inflation only when fiscal policy is also expansionary, while lowering inflation necessitates a fiscal contraction. These insights emphasize the importance of a balanced policy mix for achieving macroeconomic stability. https://lnkd.in/eXw2Uh6W
