What can students expect in the project: Think Tank?
'My think tank is working for the government of the Limburg Province. We were asked to figure how can citizen participation, support and/or acceptance for solar and wind energy projects in Limburg be fostered. It’s really exciting because the province and municipalities are kicking off this sustainable energy transition and want to make sure that residents are involved.
Of course, I will learn new theories and discover new case studies but I think the real lessons of this project are softer skills. Communication is a key skill learned by spending every day working with a group and by working for someone. Additionally, group work is a great way to learn how to collaborate and incorporate everyone’s perspective. It’s an intense project but our topic is super cool, we decked out our room with lights and other fun things and always have snacks!'

We‘re wishing everyone a happy new year 2019!
Did you know that the application period has been open for studying Biobased Materials as of September? Maybe you can still enjoy some holidays right now and use them to already file your application. Although you can submit until May 1st and even June 1st for EEC residents, this could be good to eliminate stressing about it later... 😉
Please don’t hesitate asking your questions either here or via email. Maybe they have already been answered in the livestream we hosted in May, so make sure to have a look at it!
