Wiggele Oosterhoff connects research and the field of practice in the study programmes at Aeres University of Applied Sciences. As a teacher researcher of ethics and entrepreneurship, he has conversations with students and entrepreneurs about what drives them deep down and about their personal values. He developed a tool for this, called the WaardeNspel (values game), which has been published by Aeres.

As a graduation coordinator, he connects students, teachers, researchers and businesses concerning themes that are important to Aeres. Each professorship is connected to a minor in the final year. As head of the entrepreneurship programme, he develops the entrepreneurship portfolio, which entails: starting a business, leading a business, taking over a business, innovating a business, and learning from entrepreneurship. He also organises Aeres’s annual Life Seminar and carries out all kinds of developmental activities.
