Partners and student projects

The Citizenlab Mantelzorg works together with two organizations: Employers’ Association Zorg en Welzijn and Jong & amp; Feather. These organizations focus on the employers of informal carers and support the Citizenlab Informal Care in this area.

In the Citizenlab Mantelzorg students from different study programs also work on student projects. For example, students from the master Advanced Nursing Practice (Saxion), the master Health Care and Social Work (Saxion) and the Physiotherapy program (Saxion) are involved in the lab.
