The city is a wonderful laboratory for studying a wide range of global issues. Our key focal areas in the Delta initiative are the port, the district of South Rotterdam and the Delta region as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Delta isn\u2019t just about economic issues, transport, poverty. employment \u2013 it\u2019s about the interrelationship of all these subjects. To bring together the relevant expertise, it is vital to work together as universities.\u201d And there\u2019s a wealth of knowledge outside the universities that can be tapped into, from practical experience amassed in Rotterdam-Zuid to the cutting-edge technology used in the port area.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What kind of concrete projects should we expect?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s still early days, but we can see more and more ideas taking shape. One such plan is the development of a \u2018digital twin\u2019: a virtual model of the entire delta developed with the aid of AI. We want to incorporate the region in all its dimensions: culture, behaviour, infrastructure, industries. Where do we find weaknesses; what should we be focusing on?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRotterdam is a port city, which means it is extra vulnerable to global threats like the current coronavirus outbreak. We have both a strong virology group at the Erasmus MC and experts in port management. Normally, these two groups would hardly ever run into each other. You could say the future of science lies in mapping out the interrelationship between disparate subjects.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dat klinkt nogal breed, welke onderwerpen in de Rijnmond-regio vallen eigenlijk n\u00edet onder dit onderzoekstraject?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Lacht: \u201cEigenlijk steeds minder. Historici waren bijvoorbeeld tot nu toe niet betrokken, maar die zouden een hele nuttige bijdrage kunnen leveren, bleek op het congres, want de delta is al heel erg oud. Je wilt die in een historische context plaatsen, want je wilt antwoorden formuleren die leren van ongewenste bijeffecten uit het verleden. Dat gebeurde \u00a0bijvoorbeeld wel ten tijde van de industri\u00eble revolutie, toen technologische ontwikkeling een desastreus effect had op de maatschappij en het milieu. Als je niet nadenkt over acceptatie en inbedding van technologie kan de verstoring van de maatschappij gigantisch zijn.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>(tekst gaat verder onder het kader)<\/p>\n\t<div data-name=\"acf\/featured-text\" class=\"md:mt-6 p-4 md:p-6 lg:p-8 bg-sand-300 theme-sand:bg-white theme-violet:bg-white theme-mocha:bg-white wysiwyg *:last:mb-0!\" >\n\t\t<p><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: right; width: 25%; margin-right: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2020\/03\/13130914\/marco-pastors-portret-nationaal-programma-rotterdam-zuid-Delta-foto-Elmer-Smaling-875x602.jpg\" alt=\"Marco Pastors\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Marco Pastors<\/strong>\u00a0was appointed Director of the National Programme Rotterdam-Zuid in 2010. This 20-year project is intended to contribute to a healthier future for the district: over the course of two decades, educational qualifications, participation in the labour market and residential quality in Rotterdam-Zuid need to be raised to the average levels in the Netherlands\u2019 four largest cities. EM spoke with Pastors during the Delta Initiative conference in Rotterdam-Zuid.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When did you first become involved in the Delta Initiative?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I was first told about several tentative ideas relating to Rotterdam-Zuid about three months ago.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And has it become clear to you what the Erasmus MC, Delft University of Technology and Erasmus University plan to do here more or less?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What I do know is that simply viewing the problems in Zuid from one angle won\u2019t yield the solution. Approaching them from a number of vantage points can help us find the right solutions. The concept of working together from a variety of scientific disciplines fits in very well.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><strong>Could the initiative prove of help to the National Programme?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve in the ninth year of our twenty-year programme. With most of our targets, we\u2019ve progressed between 20 and 50 percent. But I\u2019m afraid that we won\u2019t get there by just doing \u2018more of the same\u2019. We need breakthroughs. I hope that this initiative by the universities will lead to a think tank that can draw up the agenda for the next eleven years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Scientists often have a long-term perspective. While you, as a former politician, may be a bit more interested in concrete measures in the here and now. How does that work out?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Well, I may be a bit impatient about what we intend to achieve each year, but within the National Programme we finally have the peace and quiet to simply execute what we\u2019ve agreed to do. I\u2019m definitely working to preserve this. It is important though that the researchers talk with the people who actually live in the district. And get to the root of the problem. Because you hear a lot of grumbling about dog shit and broken street lights, but if you keep asking questions you\u2019ll discover that these are actually symptoms of bigger problems. But when people bring up subjects like school or work, municipal officials often cut them short by saying \u2018that\u2019s not our responsibility\u2019. That won\u2019t get you anywhere. Scientists may be able to offer a broader perspective on the problems.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Did they invite you to participate in the debate, or the other way round?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Well, I was already here, obviously, and I\u2019m confident it will all work out.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<p><strong>In what way is it disruptive in Rotterdam-Zuid? For the past ten years, the National Programme Rotterdam-Zuid (NPRZ) has been studying issues in the district, as well as improvement opportunities, and suddenly they\u2019re joined by three new institutions. How do you picture the collaboration between your initiative and the NPRZ?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt would be wrong for us to start bandying about solutions with only a vague idea of what\u2019s going on in the neighbourhood. That means that we should first carefully study existing initiatives \u2013 the NPRZ, for example. And the same applies to Rotterdam\u2019s port area.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn some cases, science isn\u2019t always immediately suited for developing concrete solutions. And vice versa: if as a researcher, you merely see the city as a lab that can be left behind as soon as you\u2019ve written your article, that isn\u2019t the way to build a constructive relationship. That\u2019s why you need to set up a longer-term research programme. You need to build on existing initiatives. Then the solutions you come up with will in turn become new building blocks for a broader approach.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s why we refer to \u2018convergence\u2019 \u2013 it goes beyond simple collaboration. Convergence takes place across the board. In everything we do, we need to consider: \u2018Could this possibly be done in partnership with Delft University of Technology and the Erasmus MC?\u2019 In each master\u2019s programme, minor or research project we need to work from the principle that we\u2019ll be doing it together. Individual scientists don\u2019t necessarily have to follow this approach, but it does need to inform every strategic decision we take. At which point more and more individual scientists are likely to recognise the value of this approach too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To which extent is this also driven by more mundane considerations \u2013 like funding? Minister Hoekstra\u2019s <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.volkskrant.nl\/nieuws-achtergrond\/hoekstra-investeringsfonds-om-nederland-klaar-te-maken-voor-een-toekomst-met-minder-groei~be312d59\/\">investment fund<\/a><\/u>, for example, or the redistribution of <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.erasmusmagazine.nl\/en\/2019\/06\/27\/budget-redistribution-for-higher-education-less-drastic-than-van-rijn-committees-proposal\/?noredirect=en_US\">government funding for universities as advised by the Van Rijn Committee<\/a><\/u>?<\/p><p>\u201cThe Hoekstra fund definitely plays a role. As a country, the Netherlands has a lot to offer academically speaking, but raising our scientific activities to the next level requires a substantial investment. The Delta Initiative is an ambitious project, and you\u2019ll need to arrange extra funding to realise it. But you can only secure this support if you come up with very solid ideas. That is why we\u2019ll be bundling our researchers\u2019 creative potential.\u201d<\/p><p><strong>Which concrete results from Delta can we expect to see in a few years\u2019 time?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI expect the Initiative will lead to new hubs at a variety of locations, like Rotterdam-Zuid or the port. These will serve as platforms for researchers and students. They will be taught on location at the \u2018living lab\u2019 [the district, Eds.], similar to how science and technology students can set to work at a regular laboratory. Economics and Social Sciences students will be teaming up with their counterparts from Delft and civil society organisations to find solutions for local issues. There are already quite a few collaborative projects in the port, but we intend to bring them together at a single location. So we\u2019re not only talking about a virtual collaboration, but also about physical locations. And we also want to work together with other delta regions around the world, like Bangladesh, the Mekong Delta in Vietnam and the Mississippi Delta in the US.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\t<div data-name=\"acf\/quote\" class=\"align\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"\">\n\t\t\t<figure data-component=\"quote-with-author\" class=\"@container\">\n\t<blockquote class=\"text-md italic @2xl:text-xl @4xl:text-2xl text-purple\">\n\t\t\u2018You\u2019d expect a country like the US to be very advanced in this area, but this is by no means the case. You can imagine the consequences\u2019\n\t<\/blockquote>\n\n\t<\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<p><strong>When you look abroad, are there any similar programmes that the Delta Initiative can use as a point of reference?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are a number of regions where they are going for a holistic approach. In Bangladesh, for example, they\u2019re working hard to improve the resilience of the delta region. What you do notice is that they\u2019re in a different phase than we are. For example, they\u2019re talking about higher dikes, while we\u2019re considering solutions like floating districts that won\u2019t be affected by future flooding. But you also have regions that put very little thought into systemic solutions. One example is the Mississippi Delta. You\u2019d expect a country like the US to be very advanced in this area, but this is by no means the case. You can imagine the consequences. One interesting learning moment during this conference was when we said: \u2018Let\u2019s focus on Rotterdam first and extrapolate the solutions to other deltas later\u2019. But some of our other colleagues said: \u2018You need to initiate collaboration and exchange with other delta regions from the outset\u2019. So that will extend our scope even further, I\u2019m afraid. Otherwise, we risk making the same mistake as in the old days: thinking about people rather than with them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>This initiative seems to be asking quite a lot from these researchers. They\u2019re expected to have a far stronger focus on social impact, while in practice they often have to focus primarily on their citation index. On top of that, you want faculties to work together, you want Erasmus to join strengths with Delft and the Erasmus MC, and then you\u2019re throwing in Bangladesh and Mississippi besides. Is this still feasible?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAllow me to quote Immanuel Kant: \u2018It is necessary, so it is possible [Du kannst, denn Du Sollst].\u2019 I believe the classical monodisciplinary approach to research has had its day. Interdisciplinary research will become increasingly important and will be more versatile. That\u2019s why universities should focus more on cooperation and societal impact.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our society is calling for more relevant research, and politicians are also allocating more funding to this category. But this doesn\u2019t automatically make it easier for scientists to work together with such a wide range of parties.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s true: we definitely shouldn\u2019t underestimate how complicated this can get. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to involve as many researchers as possible \u2013 and to learn from each other. It also helps that our universities are explicitly promoting this approach. Students are also interested in multidisciplinary education and minors that involve working in living labs. In the future, there will be a greater need for academics who can do more than specialist research: scientists who also understand the social context of their research.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\t<div data-name=\"acf\/quote\" class=\"align\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"\">\n\t\t\t<figure data-component=\"quote-with-author\" class=\"@container\">\n\t<blockquote class=\"text-md italic @2xl:text-xl @4xl:text-2xl text-purple\">\n\t\t\u2018Students are also interested in multidisciplinary education and minors that involve working in living lab\u2019\n\t<\/blockquote>\n\n\t<\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<p><strong>The Delta Initiative is also about abandoning traditional research methods and putting a stronger emphasis on social impact. This does come with its own risks, however \u2013 like the replication crisis in the social sciences. In your pursuit of social relevance, you start conducting experiments outside a controlled research setting.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think you should cast aside proven research methods. However, to effectively study issues in society, you will need a broader set of tools, taken from a variety of disciplines. You mentioned the replication crisis. But that was primarily caused by the fact that in a lab environment people act differently to how they would in real life, where your research is generally disrupted by complex factors. I\u2019m not saying you have to give up classic lab research, but rather that a living lab presents opportunities to determine whether your insights are robust enough to hold up in a real-life setting. That\u2019s the essence of the replication crisis. Students in a lab behave perfectly according to expectations. But as soon as you visit a railway station or a school, for example, you are confronted with so many different factors that as a researcher, you will need to use an array of methods to fathom the complexity of a system like that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\t<div data-name=\"acf\/persons\" class=\"mt-6 md:mt-8 lg:mt-10\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"sr-only\">De redactie<\/h2>\n\t\t\n\t\t<div
