Selection & Matching Completed – GroenvermogenNL Ideation Lab

The selection and matching process for the GroenvermogenNL Ideation Lab has been completed. Interdisciplinary teams of students and researchers are now formed around 15 valorisation cases, marking the start of the upcoming programme edition focused on green hydrogen and green chemistry innovation.

Teams formed for the upcoming programme edition

The selection and matching phase of the GroenvermogenNL Ideation Lab has been completed. Based on the submitted valorisation cases and a careful review process, interdisciplinary teams have now been formed and selected to participate in the upcoming programme edition.

15 valorisation cases, interdisciplinary teams

This year’s Ideation Lab starts with 15 valorisation cases, bringing together a diverse group of students and researchers from across the Netherlands. Participants have been matched into teams of two to three members per case, taking into account content focus, expertise, and individual development needs.

From research ideas to valorisation pathways

The Ideation Lab is designed as a shared learning journey that supports early-stage valorisation. Through a structured series of workshops, coaching sessions, and peer exchange, teams explore how research-driven ideas in green hydrogen and green chemistry can develop into concrete applications and next steps towards impact.

Strong involvement of coaches and researchers

Each team is supported by experienced coaches and researchers, enabling close interaction between academic perspectives and practical valorisation insights. Programme workshops are mandatory for students and optional for researchers, allowing for flexible yet committed participation.

Next steps

Participants will shortly receive invitations to the programme workshops, followed by onboarding information with practical details and expectations. The first phase of the programme will focus on exploration and customer discovery, gradually building towards strategy development and reporting later in the programme.
