Henk Middelkoop

I was born in Geldermalsen, were I still live. I went to the Gomarus Scholengemeenschap in Gorinchem. I am currently in the third year of the Business Administration Bachelor at Erasmus University Rotterdam.

I am interested in the LDE-Minor Responsible Innovation because I want to have a positive impact on the world. Responsible Innovation could be the key to that goal. Besides of that is it a more small scale course which I prefer.

I hope that I am prepared for the bigger work on responsible innovation after this minor!
