Wish To Obtain A Doctorate

Index

Pre-PD

In 2024 I followed the course pre-PD at Hogeschool Utrecht (HU). I got the tools to start writing a proposal for a PhD. I tried starting a doctorate through the new program of HU, but I couldn't find enough promotors. That was more than okay, because I got to talk and write a lot about the doctorate I want. This made clear to me that I still want a PhD and not a PD.

Wish To Obtain A Doctorate In City Marketing

The subject in which I want a doctorate is clear to me, city marketing. The doctorate also needs to contain the themes:

• Women friendly city

• Safety in the city

• Wellbeing in the city

• Learning from history in the city (Philips & Beguine)

• Big Data as a tool

• Combining quantitative and qualitative research methods.

Work in progress. I wrote this on August 31, 2025!

Looking For Information About Organizations For My PhD-Plan

Fonds BJP granted me access to Company.info from August 1 till August 30,  2025. I used this acces to obtain information about my PhD themes and information about organizations I am interested in. I was happy with the access and made good use of it. I used the Company.info access:

• To look up information about organizations

• To look into financial information of several organizations

• To gain insight into shareholders.

No monetary transaction took place with this closed grant. I am grateful to Fonds BJP for providing me access to Company.info from August 1 till August 30, 2025.

Online Workshop 'Graven in Europese Geldstromen'

To determine whether sufficient financial data was available for analysis during my PhD research, I participated in the workshop 'Graven in Europese geldstromen'. The English translation of the e-course title is: Digging into European Money Flows. This was an online course offered by the NVJ (Nederlandse Vereniging van Journalisten, Dutch Association of Journalists). Part of the e-course was funded by Werktuig PPO. I asked them to support me in purchasing this e-course so that I can further develop my journalistic skills and use the knowledge I gained in the e-course for my PhD research. They agreed in advance to pay for part of the e-course. I paid and completed the e-course. After completing the e-course, I sent Werktuig PPO an invoice.
