DesignLab proudly announces the launch of their Academy. Within the DesignLab Academy, the focus is on futures thinking; understanding the possibilities of the future so that we know how our decisions today will impact the world of tomorrow.

DesignLab University of Twente is headquarters and host of the annual University Innovation Fellows meetup from 12 to 14 April, a three-day programme from the Hasso Plattner School of Design (d.School), Stanford University. For the past decade it was held at Stanford in California. This year, they have decided to broaden their horizons and put their trust in the University of Twente. This meetup is a student-driven experience of a lifetime.

The University of Twente is developing a plan together with institutions in scientific and vocational education in the Groningen, Delft, Eindhoven and Twente regions to educate more technical talent. This is needed to strengthen and preserve the Netherlands' chip sector. The cabinet presented plans to this end last week. The so-called 'Beethoven' project includes a substantial investment in engineering education. A one-off 450 million euros is available for education for the period until 2030, and after that, structurally around 80 million euros per year.

A leap towards a more sustainable future was taken yesterday when Saxion, University of Twente and ROC van Twente signed a joint covenant: 'Acceleration of Energy and Resource Transition'. This is more than just a signature, it marks the beginning of a new chapter in which these knowledge institutions will work together with public and private partners to set up a Centre of Expertise for the Acceleration of Energy and Raw Materials Transition.
