Twente Alumni Lectures: Jos Keurentjes – Münster

Lecture given by: Prof. dr. ir. Jos Keurentjes
Programme Director Energy Innovation

Shaping the future: leading in Energy Innovation

Sustainability is a key cornerstone in the University of Twente’s new mission, vision and strategy: Shaping2030. The energy transition is one of the core activities on which UT will be focusing in this context. New technologies are essential for supplying society with energy in a sustainable way. Examples are innovative batteries, creating negative emissions, and digitizing energy systems. Within the Energy Innovation programme, one of the key ambitions is a close collaboration with the University of Münster. As Energy Innovation programme director, Jos Keurentjes faces a complex challenge to establish and coordinate programmes for these research areas in order to contribute to the energy transition.

Jos Keurentjes is not a stranger to the topic of energy. He graduated in Environmental Sciences and with several management positions at AkzoNobel and as Chief Scientific Officer and member of the Executive Board of TNO, Jos has always worked at the interface between science, technology and innovation. Since 1997 he has been appointed as Professor of Process and Equipment Design at the Eindhoven University of Technology.

Meet the Mayor: alumni dinner 
Preceding the lecture, you’re invited to have dinner with the Mayor of Enschede. The Mayor of Enschede Onno van Veldhuizen is in “town” this February and invites all Twente alumni living in the Münster region for a dinner talk with him to catch-up over the latest news from the city and the collaboration with Münster. Join the dinner and let the Mayor know what your opinion is on this cross-border collaboration.
