We would like to invite the GUTS consortium members, to a meeting on May 15 and 16, 2025, with the theme of self-regulation. There are so many different perspectives on measuring self-regulation: for some, it is a predictor, for others a process, and still others see it as an outcome measure. Self-regulation can also be viewed as a state or a trait. In short, we think it would be fun and inspiring to have an in-depth discussion about this.
Program:
- May 15, 2025: The first day is focused on PhD students and postdocs. (Location: Social Impact Factory Aan de Gracht, Utrecht)
- May 16, 2025: The second day is for the entire consortium and will consist of a guest lecture, interactive session, and a social lunch. (Location: Social Impact Factory Vredenburg)
Please register via the following link:
We hope to see you all at this event. Please save the dates in your calendars! Further information will follow soon.

All GUTS consortium members and affiliates are invited to a workshop dedicated to exploring Artificial Intelligence tools for research.
Workshop Details:
- Hybrid: Online/ in person (Drift 23, 3512 BR Utrecht, Room 2.12.)
- Date: Wednesday, September 18, 2024
- Time: 15:00-16:30
- Workshop Providers: Tim and Konrad
Introduction text of Tim and Konrad:
Join us for our workshop and presentation, “Modern Tools for Research.” We are Tim and Konrad, former Research Master students now embarking on our scientific careers, eager to share our insights on the responsible use of artificial intelligence in research. This workshop will introduce AI-based tools designed to enhance productivity and quality throughout every stage of the research process—from discovering new literature and conducting systematic reviews to ensuring your paper aligns with publisher criteria. We will also include time for discussions on ethical AI practices and a hands-on session to help you get started.
IMPORTANT!
If you plan to attend in person, please make sure to bring your fully charged laptop. Also, don’t forget to register your attendance via the Google Forms link:

We look forward to seeing you all!
This workshop kicks off a series of events organized by the GUTS Seminars Committee.
We are excited to announce the upcoming GUTS Genetics Symposium and invite all consortium members and colleagues to join us.
Event Details:
During the GUTS genetics symposium we will organize an inspiring morning with an introduction to genetics and some great keynote speakers.
- Prof Steve Faraone, is a distinguished Professor and Vice Chair for Research, Department of Psychiatry, Norton College of Medicine at SUNY Upstate Medical University. He researches childhood mental disorder with a focus on genetic processes related to self-regulation-relevant behaviours.
- Prof Meike Bartels, is a Dutch psychologist and behavior geneticist known for her research on the genetics of happiness. She holds the chair, Genetics and Wellbeing at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.
- Dr. Camille M. Williams, is a postdoctoral fellow at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris. Her research integrates genetic, environmental, and brain data to advance our understanding of the etiology of externalizing behaviors and disorders.
In the afternoon we will discuss together how your research in GUTS may benefit from genetic research and data. We will learn about polygenic risk scores (PRS), tips and pitfalls and the most recent developments in the field.
We kindly ask you to register in advance so we can adjust the preparations, including catering and other arrangements, accordingly.
To register for the event, please fill out the registration form.

Will we see you there?
How do young people navigate the challenges of an increasingly complex society and what factors account for differences in their engagement and contribution as citizens? How does neurobiological development interact with social and societal experiences, including family dynamics, peer relationships, and socio-economic opportunities? How can we gain insights into and predict the extent to which young individuals develop into engaged citizens who meet both their own and others’ needs? These questions lie at the heart of the conference’s discussions. This conference will bring together experts who explore the interplay between individual neurobiological development and the diverse social and societal opportunities that shape young people’s paths.
The conference serves as the starting point for the 10-year Dutch program “Growing Up Together in Society” (GUTS).
