Abstract: proefschrift werd (mede) mogelijk gemaakt met financiële steun van het Horizon 2020-programma van de Europese Unie (projectnummer 755021).Over de omslag / about the cover:Het weefsel der mensheid / The fabric of humanity "And thus we look towards a future which is imagined as an organism.A fabric or tissue which is characterised by collaboration and connectedness, interdependency and diversity.A fabric which grows from the bottom-up and cannot be mapped out from above.Progress must be the result of countless experiments, which are allowed to fail -hence all the networks and safety nets, symbolising the strength of our social fabric.There are no loose ends in a strongly woven net.In the network of a strong community we do not abandon one another.We are going from walls and boundaries to bridges and connections; from sheltered enclaves to open networks; from a rigid grid to a semi-lattice framework; and from arms that grab to hands that carry.The fabric doesn't become weaker through the interwoven threads.No, it actually becomes stronger through dependency.Stronger through collaboration.Stronger through trust.In this way the fabric of humankind continues to grow, off and beyond the map, into the future."
