You’ll also map the frameworks and interests of its different stakeholders, identify the need(s) behind research questions, and coach often diverse and multidisciplinary teams of researchers and experts.

Systems engineering

Our systems engineers develop the functional concept into a system design, which is then implemented in hardware and software. They also develop practical implementations using, for example, feasibility tests.

Business development

In the role of business developer, you’ll initiate collaborations with (international) parties that want to innovate their products and/or processes. Your goal? Acquiring new research projects or connecting organisations with ongoing research projects.
