Smart Energy allows groups of students to do challenging multidisciplinary projects on the cutting edge of energy and computer science. You will work in small project groups in close cooperation with their clients (from the Dutch energy and IT sectors), under the supervision of an experienced lecturer/coach). Our projects are always based on current problems/opportunities from the clients and require a certain amount of research and a proactive mind set.
