Health-RI communication: transition to Dutch and English Health-RI started as a bottom up initiative from Dutch health & life sciences researchers and rapidly gained support from several funders, the Dutch University Medical Centers, and many others to converge the fragmented research infrastructure landscape with initiatives like BBMRI-NL (biobanks with samples, medical images and data), ELIXIR-NL (making life sciences research data accessible and exchangeable) and EATRIS-NL (for translational research), and many others. From the start, Health-RI has communicated in English to accommodate the international research community. We are growing as organisation and over the last two years our community has grown with many representatives from the broader Dutch health(care) field. For this reason we have chosen to move to Dutch as the primary language for national external communication.
On our website we provide both Dutch and English as options, and thus provide all relevant content and updates also in English. |
