Welcome to Xendens!

Xendens is the Academic Centre for Dialogue and Society. In this multidisciplinary centre we work with practitioners from the field on issues in the social domain.

We use research to develop products and services that have broad application in society. In this way, we ensure that as many people as possible can benefit from the knowledge we develop in collaboration with practitioners. In doing so, we contribute to improving care, optimizing research, and creating a more inclusive society.

The services we offer are at the intersection of practice and science. We believe that collaboration between different backgrounds and disciplines leads to valuable changes for practice. Let's engage with each other. Together, we can make an impact.
