Our intention is to develop a digital buddy along with families and organizations around the target group (schools, consultationbureaus, governments and healthcare insurers), so that the platform fits within the needs of the users.

Within the project we are conducting research in IJsselmonde and we will use a field lab method to give form to this development process.

The OSFB project is organised into the six work packages, each supported by a coordinating team. Each work package is led by one or two experienced researchers, accompanied by one or two PhD candidates, partner organizations, and consulting researchers.

The consortium as a whole meets twice a year. Additionally, work package leads, PhD candidates, and the coordination team hold meetings every six weeks. PhD candidates have weekly meetings, while within each work package, a PhD candidate and one of the leads meet either weekly or biweekly. The coordinating team convenes every two weeks.
