EnschedeLAB | Get to know the city!

MEET THE CITY

The EnschedeLAB is there to bring city and student together. With real issues that live in Enschede, we challenge students from the University of Twente, Saxion Hogeschool, ROC van Twente and AKI / ArtEZ to collaborate across the boundaries of their institution on innovative solutions that help the city further.

About the EnschedeLAB

Het EnschedeLAB heeftthree target groups

Students

Of course: students! They can participate in the nano challenge that we organize every quartile, or help solve EnschedeLAB issues through their own training.

Teachers

Some as an instructor or supervisor, and almost every one because you can delegate students. And because our issues may fit well with existing courses and study programs.

Clients

We will not start anything without good issues. And an issue without an owner does not progress. That is why an important target group for us is also: clients.

We work with real challenges

The EnschedeLAB works with challenges / issues. On our Challenge page we present which issues are open, which issues we are working on - in what way - and which challenges have been completed and what the results were. Below three of the examples, from completed to yet to be addressed, and below a button to the page with all challenges.

Operation Clean (Outstanding)

In quartile 4 we would start with the nano-challenge “Operation Clean”. The challenge was canceled, but the question remains: “How do we avoid generating so much waste in our operating room?” The Medisch Spectrum Twente is very curious if you can help them with this!

View of the Road (Continued)

In quartile 3 we started the nano-challenge “View of the Road”. To increase the quality of life in Enschede, the municipality wants to eliminate parking spaces within the center. Students set to work to find ways to give the parking spaces a new, sustainable function. The results are now on the challenge page.

Nuisance from Smokers (Completed)

How can we limit the nuisance caused by smokers in neighborhoods located around the grounds of educational institutions? Four groups of students came up with solutions, including “Meuk” a smart waste bin and a 30-day challenge.
