About Jort de Vries
Jort de Vries contributes to Deltares’ mission by understanding and contributing knowledge processes and how knowledge can affect physical space. His expertise lies in understanding, facilitating and designing knowledge processes for spatial governance. Understanding the spatial, socio-economic, physical, and political context as well as the different perspectives of stakeholders, disciplines, and sectors is extremely important. As such, Jort often works with co-creative methods and processes and employs in-depth methods to better understand and align societal, academic, and policy perspectives, to help ensure that knowledge is produced and used as efficiently and effectively as possible.
At the faculty of spatial sciences at the University of Groningen, Jort studies knowledge processes in his PhD research. He also teaches several courses on water management and organises guest lectures about ocean governance.
