Prof. Dr. Hans Savelberg is a professor of Evolving Academic Education at the Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences of Maastricht University. Being both a human movement scientist and an educational scientist, he is interested in a variety of research topics. As a human movement scientist, he worked on the impact of muscle weakness on gait performance in people with diabetic neuropathy, relating adverse plantar pressure zones to muscle incapacity in the leg. Moreover, he is keen to better understand the impact physical activity behaviour on health and cognitive performance. He is involved in studies in various age groups, studying not only the effects of physical activity behaviour on health and cognition, but also trying to discover the underlying biological mechanisms. As professional in higher education, he is fascinated by the question how educational arrangements should be optimized to thrive students’ and teachers’ intrinsic motivation. In his work, he has an eye for the complexity and wickedness of real-life problems. To value this wickedness and contribute to useful solutions, he prefers to work in a transdisciplinary context.
