Smart Solutions Semester
The Smart Solutions Semester trains students for the rapidly changing world, where solutions to tomorrow's challenges can no longer be found within one field of study. Students are prepared to work as professionals. The Smart Solutions Semester connects students, faculty and researchers with businesses and organizations in the region by working together in Learning Communities.

Great collaboration between students, client and tutor, in which the students conducted very creative and hands-on research on a vulnerable target group.
How it works. In this “Why” video, we explain how our students get to work on your issue. For companies and professors interested in the Smart Solutions Semester, we have already listed the most important issues in the FAQ. In it you will find everything you need to know about participating in the Smart Solutions Semester and how to register as a client.
To get even more impact from this cross-fertilization of disciplines, each project team is part of a Learning Community. Each Learning Community consists of four projects whose research questions have the same or a very similar topic. In this way, the client benefits optimally from mutual knowledge development and sharing.
Third- and/or fourth-year students from different programmes participate in the Smart Solutions Semester. Wondering which ones these are, and what these students have to offer? Read the document with information for each programme.
At the end of each semester The Final Stretch takes place, the festive conclusion of the Smart Solutions Semester. During this event, the Smart Solutions Award will be presented, including a cash prize of €1,000. Students can apply, but also tutors and clients can nominate students. A great opportunity to give the result and the project team the attention they deserve!
Watch the aftermovie of the last edition of The Final Stretch here. And for some inspiration, you can find the posters of the nominated project teams here.This will give you an impression of the different issues and the final result!
