| 236 A special thank you to the Cognisance Consortium for having me be a part of the research team and letting me develop as a researcher and improve my collaborative skills. Thank you to everyone in the consortium who contributed to the data-collection, without it the thesis wouldn’t exist. Despite having met each other only once (on my very first day of my PhD mind you) I enjoyed working alongside everyone digitally (even despite the odd meeting times sometimes). A special thank you goes out to Henry Brodaty as Chair of the consortium. Thank you to Meredith for trying to keep everyone organized and providing me with the occasional mental support talks. Thank you to Lyn, I truly enjoyed co-authoring a part of my thesis with you and this gave me the opportunity to further develop myself as a qualitative researcher. Thank you, Kate Swaffer, for making sure we never lost sight of why and for whom we were doing our research. To Isabelle and Maria, I truly enjoyed the couple of days we were able to spend in Brussels at the JPND conference. Lindsay, thank you for your patience in teaching me a whole new skills set. When I started my PhD, I did not know I would be learning things like SEO and WordPress. I truly enjoyed the design process with you. In mijn dankwoord wil ik ook graag de volgende zorgorganisaties meenemen; Hulp bij Dementie, MetGGZ, Catharine Ziekenhuis, Mondriaan en Lionarons. Jullie hulp tijdens onze campagne en het verspreiden van de promotiematerialen heeft bijgedragen aan de succesvolle website samen vooruit met dementie. Judith, je betrokken en enthousiasme maakt het ontzettend leuk om met je samen te werken. Paula, dankjewel voor het samen opzetten van de jubileumcampagne van het ACL en de campagne van Samen vooruit met Dementie. De webinars die we samen hebben georganiseerd waren ontzettend geslaagd. Een special bedankje voor Alzheimer Nederland is op z’n plek. In een internationaal project hoop je dat je ook echt internationale bezoeken kan gaan afleggen. Dankzij jullie Inter-act beurs heb ik vier bijzondere maanden in Engeland mogen doorbrengen voor mijn onderzoek. Thank you to Greta and Louise for hosting me during my stay in London and Newcastle. I thoroughly enjoyed this part of my thesis journey. A very special thank you to Jane, you truly made my time in London one to remember. The books you gave me as a thank you gift were a major hit for me and I have since shared them with several others. Without you Claudio I might not have even been able to stay in London, thank you for helping me find (amazing) housing and for working closely with me on the project. Thank you Kritika and
