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.
Het EnschedeLAB heeft drie doelgroepen
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.
Heat stress (completed)
With which green interventions can we combat 'heat stress'? This earlier challenge focused on that, with 'mobile trees', 'mobile greenery', green roofs and green façades as conceived forms.
Loneliness (now)
In the first quartile, we did a nano challenge on 'Post Corona' issues. One of them: what can we do with those concerned about loneliness among (international) students?
Neighborhood initiatives (later)
The EnschedeLAB focuses on the solution power of students. For this we bring in issues. But what if students start looking for it themselves? In quartile 2, we examine whether students can boost more neighborhood initiatives.
