The last five years, I have been consistently recognized as a top 2% scientist by Stanford University, see https://topresearcherslist.com/Home/Profile/785451, due to my research in the field of Public Health (ranked 233rd out of 69,595), more specifically my research on the determinants of online and offline health and risk behaviors. In doing so, I obtained several competitive research proposals (Horizon, FWO-SBO, EU, ...) that involve quite a lot of administration. I want to allocate 60% of my basic funding, and pool this with my zap colleagues from the research group imec-mict-UGent to cover the (increasing) cost for coordination (in casu: Coordination and front office research group imec-mict-UGent SVO773). I want to use the remaining 40% to strengthen my current international research on online and offline health and risk behaviors (collaborations with UWC South Africa, Mazandaran University, Arizona State University, ...) and enter into new foreign research collaborations.
