At first, you will receive innovative solutions to your technological design issues. Secondly, you get to know the person well and at the end of the project you are in the perfect position to offer him or her a position within your company. Practice reveals that this is the case for most designers. Thirdly, the design projects will be supervised by one of our highly experienced design scientists, who have the most recent insights.
As an industrial partner, you will be asked to pay the university for the costs incurred by each project. Please contact us for more details.
