BISS NEWS | Another project granted We are not slowing down and are happy to announce that our new NWO (Dutch Research Council) Thematic Digital Competence Centre (TDCC) project has been granted: LegalBlocks – FAIRified Lego-Style Application Development for Legal Research Software. Legal research often depends on complex and expensive software ecosystems. With LegalBlocks, we want to make legal research tooling more accessible, modular, and reusable. The project aims to develop a no-/low-code platform that enables researchers and potentially courts, government agencies, and other public institutions to create their own legal web applications through visual workflows, while automatical

Do you work for a manufacturing company? We would be very interested in hearing your perspective. As part of our DigiMach.eu project, Maastricht University Master's student Philip Schäuble is researching how manufacturing companies exchange knowledge about digitalising their production processes. The study explores: • Where companies feel knowledge gaps around digital production technologies • What drives (or blocks) willingness to share knowledge with industry peers If you work in manufacturing — whether in production, operations, engineering, or management — your insights would make a real difference to this research. We are particularly interested in hearing from professionals working

Working together on accessibility
Collaboration with BISS helped us take a fresh look at a complex process like the social assistance application. By bringing together behavioral scientists, data scientists, and policymakers under the guidance of a design thinking facilitator, we developed an approach that is both human-centered and data-driven. Thanks to this interdisciplinary collaboration, we were able to truly take steps toward a simpler, clearer, and more accessible application process for our residents.
