What is Driven?

Driven aims to gain deeper insight into employment, education participation, mental health among deaf and hard-of-hearing people and people with visual impairments in the Netherlands.

About Driven –

Driven builds on earlier initiatives, including the Visueel in Beeld and ZG in Beeld projects. These studies laid the groundwork for Driven to take the next step: addressing new research questions, expanding data sources, and generating long-term insights into these populations through the use of administrative data.

Driven is a joint initiative by Deelkracht, Kennis over Zien, Bartiméus Fonds, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU), and the Amsterdam Center for Learning Analytics (ALCA).
