Research Expertise:Cultural governance, both in Flanders and from a global perspective. In 2019 I published a book on "cultural governance from a global perspective". In recent years I have focused more on cultural governance and trust. In 2024, we will conduct an empirical study into the practice of cultural governance in Flanders for the 3rd time. From the UA's Cultural Management Fund, we first published a cultural governance code in 2012. This was renewed in 2020. The code has now also been included in Flemish legislation. I am involved in an interdisciplinary European project and an SBO/FWO project on the valorization of crafts. We are responsible for the ecosystems, entrepreneurship and new business models. I also do a lot of research into sustainable business models and entrepreneurship in the fashion sector. We also have expertise in public-private partnerships in the heritage sector and the visual arts sector. For the VG we conducted research into possible collaboration between private collectors and public museums.
