Launch USP Inclusive network
On 2 November Network USP Inclusive was launched. This partnership between Utrecht 木瓜福利影视 (UU) and 木瓜福利影视 Medical Center Utrecht (UMC Utrecht) is dedicated to employees with a (work) disability or (mental) vulnerability in Utrecht Science Park.
At the launch, Hester Dijkstra-te Riet, advisor at foundation Reinaerde, interviewed the core team about the mission and plans of the network. Diversity Dean Janneke Plantenga gave the introductory speech, after which stand-up comedian Ya茂ra van Nielen made the audience laugh. PhD candidate Rosanna Nagtegaal told about her research into the behaviour (and behavioural changes) of employers in order to hire more people with disabilities.
The meeting was made possible with financial support from the Stimulation Fund Diversity and Inclusion of the programme Equality, Diversity & Inclusion.
The network is open to everyone, whether you have a (work) disability or (mental) vulnerability or are just interested. Stay informed about updates and activities of the network.
