Robert is an assistant professor in Organization Sciences at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. He focuses on the role of civil society and citizens during crises and disasters. He is interested in understanding how their knowledge and expertise are applied (or not) by decision-makers to prevent, ameliorate, or deal with critical situations.
Previously, he was an associated researcher and work package leader in the H2020 project LINKS, "Strengthening links between technologies and society for European disaster resilience", a comprehensive study on disaster governance in Europe. Within LINKS, Robert was particularly interested in vulnerability and diversity's role in disasters and how civil society organisations (formal or informal) contribute to better crisis responses.
Robert's PhD project explored organisational dynamics in refugee reception and integration in the Netherlands from 2011–2021. He studied the interaction between governmental organisations, civil society (sporadic, emergent or established) and volunteers and how they engage in the reception and inclusion of refugees. In addition, he examined refugees' role in the processes that claim to receive, integrate and include them in Dutch society.
All in all, Robert is interested in the constraining and enabling aspects of collaboration between different societal actors connected by a common complex societal issue (e.g., migration, refugee reception, disasters) and the impact these various forms of collaboration have on societal resilience.
