About us

Work together for more hope in your organisation

Insight alone does not lead to an increase of hope. We therefore not only measure hope but we also do interventions. We do this primarily in organisations in the profit and non-profit sector, as well as in the government, and always develop tailor-made solutions. Would you like to know what we can do for your organisation and about our approach? Cooperation

The Hope Project is a scientific project that focuses on increasing insight into hope by, among other things, measuring it, as well as positively influencing hope.
