That's a half years later than workers retiring. Among the professions, there are differences in the age to which employees - in their estimate - can contiune working. These differences are related to the physical and mental strain of the different professions. These are some results of the National Working Conditions Survey 2011, which was carried out last year by TNO and CBS. http://nl.sitestat.com/tno/tno/s?en.about_us.press.older_employees_think_about_working_longer.rss.index&ns_type=clickin&ns_url=[http://www.tno.nl/content.cfm?context=overtno&content=persbericht&laag1=37&item_id=201205090016&Taal=2] http://nl.sitestat.com/tno/tno/s?en.about_us.press.older_employees_think_about_working_longer.rss.index&ns_type=clickin&ns_url=[http://www.tno.nl/content.cfm?context=overtno&content=persbericht&laag1=37&item_id=201205090016&Taal=2] Thu, 10 May 2012 09:30:00 +0100 Not the enablers Place and Technology, but the Management Culture has the highest impact on business objectives including productivity, vigour and sustainability. When there is inspirational and motivational leadership, people will be more productive as they are inspired to organize their work more effectively. TNO initiated a research on the effects of NWoW, in cooperation with KPN, Rabobank, Philips Veldhoen + Company, and Telewerkforum HNW. http://nl.sitestat.com/tno/tno/s?en.about_us.press.culture_most_important_driver_for_success_for_new_way_of_working.rss.index&ns_type=clickin&ns_url=[http://www.tno.nl/content.cfm?context=overtno&content=persbericht&laag1=37&item_id=201204190015&Taal=2] http://nl.sitestat.com/tno/tno/s?en.about_us.press.culture_most_important_driver_for_success_for_new_way_of_working.rss.index&ns_type=clickin&ns_url=[http://www.tno.nl/content.cfm?context=overtno&content=persbericht&laag1=37&item_id=201204190015&Taal=2] Thu, 19 Apr 2012 14:15:00 +0100 TNO investigates via modeling the factors that affect the rolling resistance of road surfaces. For road authorities, the focus on energy efficiency (read: CO<sub>2</sub> reduction) focusses particularly on the construction phase and the maintenance measures. The phase of actual using the road is usually disregarded. http://nl.sitestat.com/tno/tno/s?en.about_us.press.tno_investigates_low-energy_road_surfaces.rss.index&ns_type=clickin&ns_url=[http://www.tno.nl/content.cfm?context=overtno&content=persbericht&laag1=37&item_id=201204170014&Taal=2] http://nl.sitestat.com/tno/tno/s?en.about_us.press.tno_investigates_low-energy_road_surfaces.rss.index&ns_type=clickin&ns_url=[http://www.tno.nl/content.cfm?context=overtno&content=persbericht&laag1=37&item_id=201204170014&Taal=2] Tue, 17 Apr 2012 14:00:00 +0100 TNO CEO Jan Mengelers is pleased with the signing of the innovation contracts between the nine top sectors. 'It marks the next phase of the top sectors and the good structural link between the application-oriented research institutes and privately funded industrial research that is vital for sectors with high knowledge intensity,' said Jan Mengelers. The link with solutions to social issues such as food shortages, aging population, scarce natural resources, health and new forms of energy offers opportunities for Dutch businesses. The Dutch dedicated public knowledge base is world class and forms the foundation for innovation with economic and social impact. TNO has received an important task from Minister Verhagen as a knowledge organization in the realization of the innovation contracts of the top sectors. http://nl.sitestat.com/tno/tno/s?en.about_us.press.important_role_for_tno_in_implementation_of_innovation_contracts_in_top_sectors.rss.index&ns_type=clickin&ns_url=[http://www.tno.nl/content.cfm?context=overtno&content=persbericht&laag1=37&item_id=201204020013&Taal=2] http://nl.sitestat.com/tno/tno/s?en.about_us.press.important_role_for_tno_in_implementation_of_innovation_contracts_in_top_sectors.rss.index&ns_type=clickin&ns_url=[http://www.tno.nl/content.cfm?context=overtno&content=persbericht&laag1=37&item_id=201204020013&Taal=2] Mon, 02 Apr 2012 17:05:00 +0100 Paul van den Avoort is per May 1, 2012 appointed Director of Safe and Clean Mobility Innovation at TNO.

Despite sick leave in the Netherlands being at a historic low, there are still gains to be made in this area. This is an important message in the brochure sick leave in the Netherlands in 2010 by TNO on trends and backgrounds of sick leave. Addressing this problem is even more important, because by raising the retirement age of workers. This is expected to lead to increased sick leave. http://nl.sitestat.com/tno/tno/s?en.about_us.press.increased_sick_leave_expected_due_to_higher_expected_retirement_age.rss.index&ns_type=clickin&ns_url=[http://www.tno.nl/content.cfm?context=overtno&content=persbericht&laag1=37&item_id=201203120011&Taal=2] http://nl.sitestat.com/tno/tno/s?en.about_us.press.increased_sick_leave_expected_due_to_higher_expected_retirement_age.rss.index&ns_type=clickin&ns_url=[http://www.tno.nl/content.cfm?context=overtno&content=persbericht&laag1=37&item_id=201203120011&Taal=2] Mon, 12 Mar 2012 14:45:00 +0100 TNO, the Canadian Minister of Innovation Norris and the Canadian Petroleum Technology Centre (PTRC) today signed a cooperation agreement in the field of CO2 capture, transport and storage (CCS). The signing is part of the visit Minister Norris with representatives of Canadian research and industry brings to the Netherlands. http://nl.sitestat.com/tno/tno/s?en.about_us.press.international_cooperation_tno_and_canada_in_the_field_of_ccs.rss.index&ns_type=clickin&ns_url=[http://www.tno.nl/content.cfm?context=overtno&content=persbericht&laag1=37&item_id=201203060010&Taal=2] http://nl.sitestat.com/tno/tno/s?en.about_us.press.international_cooperation_tno_and_canada_in_the_field_of_ccs.rss.index&ns_type=clickin&ns_url=[http://www.tno.nl/content.cfm?context=overtno&content=persbericht&laag1=37&item_id=201203060010&Taal=2] Tue, 06 Mar 2012 15:55:00 +0100 Today, the results of CO2ReMoVe, an EU project on CO2 storage, will be presented at its closing conference near Paris. The CO2ReMoVe project has involved over 30 partners from research and industry from Europe and beyond, and has been running for six years. A key conclusion is that results from all the sites indicate that underground CO2 storage can be carried out safely, with CO2 effectively contained in all storage projects studied. Operational irregularities, such as a small leakage from an old well, have not led to concerns about storage safety or permanence. http://nl.sitestat.com/tno/tno/s?en.about_us.press.underground_co2_storage_put_to_the_test__is_it_safe_and_effective.rss.index&ns_type=clickin&ns_url=[http://www.tno.nl/content.cfm?context=overtno&content=persbericht&laag1=37&item_id=201202290009&Taal=2] http://nl.sitestat.com/tno/tno/s?en.about_us.press.underground_co2_storage_put_to_the_test__is_it_safe_and_effective.rss.index&ns_type=clickin&ns_url=[http://www.tno.nl/content.cfm?context=overtno&content=persbericht&laag1=37&item_id=201202290009&Taal=2] Wed, 29 Feb 2012 18:45:00 +0100 The quality of work in the Netherlands is still relatively favorable compared to the rest of Europe. Especially with regard to physical and psychosocial working conditions. Interestingly, the exposure to aggression and violence in 2010 was closer to the European average. In the past the Netherlands always did worse than European average. http://nl.sitestat.com/tno/tno/s?en.about_us.press.arbobalans_2011__dutch_working_conditions_better_than_in_the_other_european_countries.rss.index&ns_type=clickin&ns_url=[http://www.tno.nl/content.cfm?context=overtno&content=persbericht&laag1=37&item_id=201202270008&Taal=2] http://nl.sitestat.com/tno/tno/s?en.about_us.press.arbobalans_2011__dutch_working_conditions_better_than_in_the_other_european_countries.rss.index&ns_type=clickin&ns_url=[http://www.tno.nl/content.cfm?context=overtno&content=persbericht&laag1=37&item_id=201202270008&Taal=2] Mon, 27 Feb 2012 11:05:00 +0100 Two thirds of the research by TNO contributes substantially to the answering of questions concerning content and innovation that have been formulated the top sectors. http://nl.sitestat.com/tno/tno/s?en.about_us.press.cuts_in_the_knowledge_infrastructure_at_odds_with_the_wishes_of_the_business_community.rss.index&ns_type=clickin&ns_url=[http://www.tno.nl/content.cfm?context=overtno&content=persbericht&laag1=37&item_id=201202170007&Taal=2] http://nl.sitestat.com/tno/tno/s?en.about_us.press.cuts_in_the_knowledge_infrastructure_at_odds_with_the_wishes_of_the_business_community.rss.index&ns_type=clickin&ns_url=[http://www.tno.nl/content.cfm?context=overtno&content=persbericht&laag1=37&item_id=201202170007&Taal=2] Fri, 17 Feb 2012 09:45:00 +0100
