CURRICULUM VITAE
Cor van Dijkum
Dr. Cor van Dijkum obtained his BSc in Physics and his M.A. in the Social Sciences from the University of Amsterdam in the 1970s. In 1988 he got his PhD in Social Sciences from the Utrecht University with the thesis entitled "Paradoxes: a methodological study to viciou s circles of thought and action ". He became researcher and lecturer in action research, methods of research, statistics, simulation & gaming, non linear modeling, am ong others i n the Department of Andragology, Department of Methodology and Statistic at Utrecht University . He author ed articles and books about these subjects. He chairs the NOSMO (Dutch Organization for Methodological Research in the Social Sciences). He organizes international conferences and workshops as a member of the board of Research Committee RC51 ( Research Committee on Sociocybernetics ) and RC33 (Research Committee on Logic and Methodology) of the ISA. In 2004 for example he organized an international conference on Methodology with over 700 participants in Amsterdam. In 2000 he founded Sokrates Consultancy and Engineering for consultancy on research and for master courses on statistics and computer simulation, e.g. for IBM, KPMG, Nolan and Norton and UWV (Employee Insurances Implementing Agency)
