Hanneke Posthumus leads the Healthy Living Lab group at the Institute for Risk Assessment Sciences of Utrecht University. Her work focuses on strengthening the connection between knowledge and practice in the (re)development of areas, with the aim of creating healthier living environments.

Cartesius is a new residential district in Utrecht where a healthy living environment is central and serves as one of the living labs within ExpACT for testing innovative air quality measurement methods. Hanneke facilitates alignment between the needs of technology providers and the opportunities within Cartesius. This enables providers to test whether their innovations perform effectively in a real-world context.
"I hope ExpACT enables new measurement methods that ultimately support healthier urban development"
