University of applied sciences Utrecht (HU UAS) teaches students to become professionals and is leader in the transition towards the New Economy. Under societal pressure, the economy is in need of renewal: from purely financial to a model that takes into account people, planet and the environment: multiple value creation. We are re-evaluating our vision of a healthy economy: from unlimited growth to a form that relates to ecological and socio-economic limits in the right way. In addition, the digital revolution requires maximum adaptability of our economy and offers opportunities to shape a new economy. These developments mean that the classic economic fields in Higher Economic Education, such as Economics, Marketing, Business Administration, Finance & Accounting, Communication, etc., will change. The question in the professional field and education is: How does our current knowledge relate to the frameworks of this New Economic perspective? And what is needed to accelerate the transition towards a new economic reality?
HU students, graduates, teachers, and researchers become co-shapers of the society of the future. To achieve this, we have developed an ambitious plan in which we will renew our education and research program within the economic domain along substantive lines. These lines go beyond the silos of classic courses, disciplines, and research areas.

We are currently setting up 'HU team NEOO'; a group of experienced, passionate researchers and education professionals with the ambition to develop valuable knowledge to anchor it in practice and education.

HU team NEOO will be collectively responsible for concretizing the substantive lines into practice-oriented research projects, for and with the professional field. At the same time, this team will be involved in advising and designing an institute-wide educational curriculum towards our ambition for Higher Economic Education. Of course, in close collaboration with experts within our organization.

What do we offer you?
University of Applied Sciences Utrecht invests heavily in the combination of education and research. Our lectorates have a rich research culture in which interdisciplinary collaboration between education and the professional field takes shape on a daily basis. Within this, we pay specific attention to expertise development in the themes Digital Together, Healthy Together, Learning Together and Sustainable Together.
Together with your colleagues from the HU Team NERO, you will conduct research at one of the 9 lectorates of the knowledge center Digital Business and Media and teach students within one of the economic institutions.
