Why GEMH?
We are currently generously funded by the John Templeton Foundation, with additional funding and resources from Joy Ventures. We have been funded by the European Research Council (ERC) and the Dutch Science Foundation (NWO) as well as several mental health agencies across the Netherlands. Our network includes but not limited to: developmental psychologists, neuroscientists, veteran game developers, programmers, and artists. Together with stakeholders and our young end-users, we co-design game experiences based on empirically validated principles of behavioural and emotional change to create games that make children's and families' lives happier, healthier, and more interconnected.
We are based in two locations: McMaster University in Toronto, Canada and the University of Twente in Enschede, The Netherlands - giving us access to EU and NA audiences.
Funding
About the funder
The Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research supports a strong system of sciences in the Netherlands by encouraging quality and innovation in science. Our conviction is that scientific research contributes to our prosperity and well-being and that it provides for our growing need for knowledge: for facing societal challenges, for economic development and to better understand ourselves and the world.
About the funder
The ERC operates according to a "curiosity-driven", or "bottom-up", approach, allowing researchers to identify new opportunities in any field of research. Accordingly the portfolio ERC funded projects spans a wide range of topics and research questions.
Since 2007, more than 6,500 projects have been selected to receive ERC funding throughout the EU Member States and the associated countries. The ERC has received over 62,000 project proposals for its calls.
About the funder
ZonMw (The Netherlands Organisation for Health Research and Development) funds health research in the Netherlands and promotes the actual use of the knowledge this research produces. Our aim is to promote quality and innovation of health research in order to make health care better and to keep it affordable.
About the funder
GGZ Oost Brabant stands for "Personalized health care for you and your family". We provide safe humane mental and emotional health care services for the citizens in the Brabant province of the Netherlands. Working together with the client we are looking for the best solution, as far as possible, tailored to the personal situation. Our help can be as simple and short, or as intensive and long-term as needed, but always accessible in the clinic, in the neighborhood or online, sometimes at home.
