KHMW Brouwer Vertrouwensprijs awarded to Team Collectieve Kracht

The jury of the KHMW Brouwer Vertrouwensprijs [KHMW Brouwer Trust Award] has awarded the Brouwer Vertrouwensprijs 2025 to the knowledge platform CollectieveKracht, initiated by Posthumus fellow Tine De Moor, Professor Social Enterprises and Institutions for Collective Action at the research group Business-Society Management at the Rotterdam School of Management.

CollectieveKracht is the knowledge exchange platform for citizens’ collectives. CollectieveKracht aims to put citizens’ collectives of all kinds – from energy to housing and from care to food – on the map and support those initiatives by mutually connecting citizens’ collectives and experts, online (via webinars and lectures) as well as on-site (with events throughout the country). CollectieveKracht makes scientific knowledge available to citizens’ collectives and submits societal issues to experts affiliated with the platform: academics, policy makers, and funding agencies; the experts’ findings subsequently are shared via the platform. All activities by CollectieveKracht are independent, free, and accessible. At this moment, 232 citizens’ collectives and 167 experts are connected to the platform.

The jury of the Brouwer Vertrouwensprijs was impressed by the many activities of the platform, the professionalism of the organisation, and the academic embeddedness of their activities. The N.W. Posthumus Institute congratulates Tine and her team with this award!
