‘Aan de borreltafel’ is een rubriek over wetenschap. Wetenschapsjournalist Enith Vlooswijk praat met én tekent over UT-onderzoekers, die vertellen over hun vakgebied en de misvattingen die hierover bestaan. In deze achttiende aflevering: Erwin Hans, hoogleraar Healthcare Operations Management.
'Let's be honest', says Professor of Healthcare Operations Management Erwin Hans, 'the study of Industrial Engineering & Management is largely about how we can make companies make even more money.' At the same time, he sees that his students like to do more than that. 'A lot of students think it is just cool to use their knowledge to create societal impact.'
