Radboud University (RU), the University of Groningen (RUG), Utrecht University (UU), and Vrije Universiteit (VU) are working on this theme.

Dr. P.J. (Pascal) Beckers is the coordinator on behalf of RU.
Prof. Dr. M.J. (Marcel) Broersma is the coordinator on behalf of RUG.
Prof. Dr. Sonja Bekker is the coordinator on behalf of UU.

Following the midterm review in 2025, we will present a full review of progress on this theme below. Here is just a small sample of the work:

• Marcel Broersma – Professor of Journalism Culture and Media at RUG – is the lead of the national Digital Society program. More than thirty leading scientists are working on specific sub-themes within this program. In early February 2025, a meeting will be held with all researchers.
• RU has joined CoRe, a collaboration between European and African universities in the field of Migration & Health.
• UU organised the 43rd conference of the International Working Party on Labour Market Segmentation (IWPLMS) on 8 and 9 September 2025. The conference focused on inclusiveness, migration and labour market inequalities, among others. These topics are also relevant to Theme 1 of the Cross-Cutting Theme sectorplan.
