REVA Newsletter
- 27 June 2024 -
The last to do's are gradually being ticked off before the summer break, hopefully including our REVA Graspéro this afternoon. Cheering on the end of the academic year and the start of summer! See you later?

Other news, in light version: below!
 
Nothing new under the sun: World Physical Therapy Day on 8 September. To avoid it getting lost in your holiday plans, you can already register now for the activities organised around it, in collaboration with ACREHAB and UZ Gent.
  • Lunch on Friday 6 September, continuously from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm. Registration required! No registration, no food. And then come the tears.
  • Lecture on Monday 9 September, 4 pm to 6 pm, by prof. Marieke De Craemer: (De)motivating treatment styles - the self-determination theory in practice.
     
Core facility MoveLab news: in case of piloting, designate colleagues Joke or Tanneke as trainer and then you will not be charged. However: this does not apply to piloting X number of subjects on a freelance basis, but it does apply if it is in function of refining your protocol. Always discuss this in advance with Team Research!
Unsure whether an research should pass through the Ethics Committee? From now on, hopefully a thing of the past, thanks to this decision tree.
The Patient Advisory Council for Scientific Research, PAWO for its friends, is an initiative that contributes to the development and improvement of clinical research.
If you work with patients within your research, you can turn to PAWO for advice so that you can best reach and involve your target group in the research.
 
Step up your outreach game, thanks to...
... a fine trinity of professionalisation activities.
... the Learning Network "How do I write a book?"
Jeroen Brouwers wrote a book and he knew how. You might soon too. The faculty intervision session for researchers on Thursday 17 October will inspire you on how to tackle everything.
Register your participation in the session here.
... the autumn call for the Social Valorisation Fund which runs until 22 October.
You can read more about the purpose and submission conditions right here.
Feel free to ask colleague Cassandra Alighieri that it is worth taking your chance. She acquired nice funding from the fund for her SMILE Project this spring.
... Science Day on Sunday 24 November.
This year there is only the centrally organised edition in the Krook and the UFO and not on the UZ Gent Campus. The central themes - totally up to our standards, say - are Movement and Health and Energy.
All info and more about your registration can be found on Intranet.
 
The colleagues of our Paediatric Rehabilitation Reseach Unit release a newsletter from the digital printing press biannually, to bring the latest developments in paediatric research to wider attention.

Colleague Marieke Coussens received the prestigious EARM prize for her doctoral research supervised by prof. Dominique Van de Velde and prof. Hilde Van Waelvelde.
This award from the European Academy of Rehabilitation Medicine was presented during the ESPRM conference in Ljubljana. Congratulations!
During past department councils, wellbeing was a major theme and, more specifically, the results of last year's central wellbeing survey. Work pressure, stress and uncertainty about financial resources emerged in our department as areas of concern. Apart from the initiatives that are already being taken in our group, we will work to have the wellbeing aspect in the department supported more by a supported policy vision around these issues, from which a more refined action plan with existing and possibly new initiatives can flow.
The dates should already be saved: from 16 to 20 September, it's REVA Happiness Week, including REVA Day on Thursday 19 September! Keep an eye on the mailbox, the schedule will be announced very soon.
