The future of tourism shaped by algorithms Interview with Maartje Roelofsen, award-winning researcher from the UOC and tourism expert

For my postdoctoral stay at the Open University of Catalonia I recently received the 2024 UOC Santander Award. This means a lot to me because it provides an opportunity to reflect on the very particular circumstances of this stay and indispensable collaborations.

Gender equality is a fundamental value of the European Union and is one of the UN’s sustainable development goals and therefore a cross-cutting theme in their programming.
 
On 3 December the Wageningen University and Research (WUR) "Gender+ Equality Plan 2024-2028" was officially launched by rector Prof. dr. Carolien Kroeze.
 
The WUR Gender+ Equality Plan is “a next step to collectively address biases and inequalities in all fields required by the EU: education and research, governance and leadership, recruitment and career support, social safety and work-life balance”.
 
During this launch event, the WUR Gender+ Equality Award was handed out to GEO’s Chizu Sato who coordinates the Gender+ minor, Marrit van den Berg and Joshua Wambugu. Chizu, Marrit and Joshua are shown in this photo, holding their award certificate.
