The leader of work package 1, Monique van der Veen, started on November 1, 2024 as lecturer “Collaborating on Oral Health” at Inholland University of Applied Sciences. And this collaboration is much needed according to Monique. “There is too little attention in care for oral health, while oral diseases such as caries are the most common lifestyle diseases and one of the most costly diseases in the Netherlands.”
With her professorship, she aims to promote oral health and reduce health and wellness risks by collaborating with stakeholders around the prevention of other lifestyle diseases. Monique is also a professor and section head at the Academic Center Dentistry Amsterdam (ACTA).
