Cooperation

Social, economic and technological developments move at a rapid pace. It is important for companies to stay abreast of all the latest developments because current-day, complex issues often demand more than the traditional answers. Cooperation with the world of science can offer a solution in this regard. Here at the Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering we are eminently qualified to fulfil this need to translate new technology to new applications.

Our researchers, lecturers and students can help you access knowledge and solutions. Conversely, working with the business sector has a lot to offer us as well: opportunities to apply our knowledge in society, mutual inspiration and valuable practical experience for our students.

The valorisation team of the Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering forms the vital link between the university and the business world. We can determine what form our cooperation should take in mutual consultation. There are many possibilities, ranging from short student internships to joint participation in international consortiums. So if you are looking for specific expertise and/or are interested in cooperating with us, we would very much like to hear from you.
