Call for participants for the GroenvermogenNL Ideation Labs

Thursday, 9 October 2025
Under the banner of Ideation Labs, Delft University of Technology has developed a programme in which top students from Dutch universities work on the valorisation of scientific innovations and the exploration of their societal impact. Building on earlier cross-university pilots, this time focuses on the valorisation of scientific findings for green hydrogen and chemistry.
