VNOP-CAS Research Days 2025—Thank you!

Researchers in developmental psychology and pedagogics from across the Netherlands and Belgium gathered in Nijmegen on November 20–21 for this year’s VNOP-CAS Research Days.

On Thursday, PhD candidates and postdocs took part in workshops on qualitative research, academic well-being, and valorization. Participants explored qualitative project examples, shared ideas, played an academic well-being bingo, and gave short, impactful presentations. We ended the day with a pub quiz with a developmental twist. read more
