Renate van der Meer
Renate van der Meer (1970) is studying the role of collective identity in the functioning of multi-party cooperative relationships.
Her research focuses on the way in which the parties involved develop (shared) meanings with regard to (aspects of) a collaboration and on the relationship between these meanings and the functioning of the cooperative relationships.
