The Research in Occupational therapy and Occupational Science (ROTOS) Foundation is one of the three branches of OT-Europe.
In its early stages, ROTOS was part of COTEC and ENOTHE leading as a Committee (2016, 2018, 2019) the research field and as its members would realized, the research field needed more autonomy and presence in Europe.
This need is the origin of ROTOS Foundation, which is established as a Charity in The Netherlands on 11th of March 2020, thanks to the hard work and implication of the board and the former members.
