Do you want to create the future, not just read about it? We invite you to join the "Rethinking Energy: Combining Research, Economics, and Technology (RECREATE)" study program. During this program, you will work with a team to find solutions to real-world business challenges, experiment, and learn how to present and pitch your ideas. This is a fantastic opportunity to gain hands-on experience for students from both engineering and social science (business, sustainability, creative industries, etc.) fields. We encourage creators from ALL faculties to apply! The selection process will take place this September, but preparation should start now. Want to learn more? Attend a short remote program presentation on June 4th (Thursday) at 10:00 AM. WHY JOIN?
