"Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world."
— Albert Einstein
Jeroen den Dunnen has worked since February 2007 as innovator for the Graphic Lyceum Rotterdam (GLR), the largest specialized educational institute in the field of media, design, and technology in the Netherlands. As innovator, he is the primary advisor on technological developments within the media and design industry for the board of directors and delivers technological contributions that improve education at the school. One of these contributions has been the successful introduction of the Wacom Cintiq for several courses within various departments.

As part of his job as innovator, he also holds the role of ambassador for Kennisnet, the foremost public knowledge center in the Netherlands for information and communication technologies (ICT) in education. Kennisnet's mission is to support schools and educational facilities with independent services to ensure the effective and safe use of ICT.
