Fleur currently researches innovation ecosystems, multiparty collaborations (e.g., Living Labs, fieldlabs, innovation ecosystems) as a mechanism for mission-oriented innovation, and strategic experimenting processes around digital technologies.

She is an elected member of the executive committee at the Strategizing Activities & Practices (SAP) DIG at the Academy of Management, currently acting as the DIG Chair (2025).

Fleur publishes in different disciplines, including journal in management and organization (e.g., Academy of Management Journal and Organization Science), strategy (e.g., Strategic Innovation), innovation studies (e.g., Research Policy, Journal of Product Innovation Management), and design studies (e.g., Design Studies and Journal of Engineering Design). She regularly contributes to international conferences and workshops. Next to being Program Chair at the SAP DIG at Academy of management, she organized the International Digital Innovation Workshop (2017 at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam) and convened a conference track at the European Group of Organization Studies meeting on Routine Dynamics (2021).

She has attracted significant research funds from the EU and the Dutch Science Foundation (NWO), including the prestigious Veni grant in the NWO Talent program, and has coordinated various research projects, including interdisciplinary NWO funded project Fieldlabs@Scale on Crossover collaboration in healthcare (2015-2020) that involves scholars from engineering design, construction management, innovation studies, and organization studies. She is currently involved in research projects on innovation ecosystems with BSH and Philips, organizing mission-driven innovation in fieldlabs Techport and NeLL (National E-Health Living Lab), and a project on new forms of interorganizational collaboration with City of Amsterdam, City of the Hague, the Waterboards of Limburg and Drents Overijsselse Delta, and ProRail in her role as affiliated researcher at the University of Twente. She recently began experimenting with an innovative approach for reusing qualitative case study data to advance the open science agenda (as part of the NWO Open Qual, with Berends, Tuertscher, and Cepa).
