                Netwerk Mensgebonden Onderzoek (NMO)

                In mid-2024 the research network was revived under the new name: Netwerk Mensgebonden Onderzoek (NMO). The goal remains the same: to facilitate easier connections among research professionals and promote the exchange of knowledge.
                The network is intended for research coordinators, research nurses and research staff, but other stakeholders are also welcome to join. The platform offers a space where you can ask questions, post topics you want to know more about or share suggestions among colleagues.

                A deliberate choice was made to operate without a specific point of contact. Instead, the focus is on knowledge sharing, allowing to expand the network and ensure its success. Every now and then a meeting is organized, so make sure to keep an eye on the Teams site for updates.

                How to join NMO via Teams: go to the Teams tab and click on the plus icon labeled 'become a member or join a team'. Enter the following code in the designated filed: loehk91.
