Aletta Advies: independent expertise from the University of Groningen
Published
Aletta Advies is an independent organisation affiliated with the University of Groningen. The organisation shows how scientific research can be used in practice. This is important for organisations that want to know whether their projects are working.
The organisation specialises in three tasks: monitoring, evaluation and knowledge translation. In monitoring, the progress of a project is followed and data on its results is collected. In evaluation, what is going well and what could be better is assessed. Knowledge translation means that scientific results are explained in such a way that people in practice can easily understand and use them.
Aletta Advies is part of the Aletta Jacobs School of Public Health, a department of the university that focuses on public health. The name and working method of the organisation are therefore based on science. The aim is not only to check, but above all to provide insight and learn from experiences.
The organisation thus aims to build a bridge between research and practice. For readers in the Netherlands, this is an example of how universities contribute to projects in society. More information about the projects and working method of Aletta Advies can be found on the website of the University of Groningen.
