Participate in the Collider

The EuroTeQ Collider at TUM is organized by the Professorship of Policy Analysis at the TUM School of Governance, in cooperation with the TUM Global & Alumni Office and multiple departments at TUM.

The third Collider is planned for spring 2023 and is open to students from various study fields, including Bachelor and Master programs. For the project weeks, we aim to form interdisciplinary teams of students and vocational trainees who find innovative solutions for their real-world challenges provided from various TUM faculties, student organizations and industry partners.

The Collider at TU/e is offered as free elective course (5 ECTs) and available in both Osiris (for TUe students) and the EuroTeQ course catalogue. For the first time in 2023 the Collider is open to both master students and any bachelor student who completed at least two years of the bachelor program. Participation will enable you to develop a broad set of soft-skills aiming at improving your capabilities to: a) offer an innovative and entrepreneurial solution that is not only technically et; b) address uncertainty and acting while being out of your comfort zone.

The Collider at DTU is organized by DTU Skylab where one can bring ideas and waste projects from DTU courses or co-curricular events and enter them into the ‘collider’ a 5-day innovation sprint. Each day contains a workshop to provide tools & frameworks to advance your ideas. Includes building your network with waste industry experts as mentors & coaches.

EuroTeQ waste challenges have been developed with different industry collaborators and integrated in various DTU open innovation courses. Additionally, it is possible to register if you have previously worked on a waste project / case that aims to leave no waste behind in cities, consumption or energy.

At École Polytechnique, the next Collider will run from March to May 2023. During the planned 8-weeks project period, participants will work in teams and take part in various activities encouraging creativity and innovation. Professors and experts from the professional world will offer their advice as the teams take up the Collider challenges related to the theme « Leave no waste behind ». 

The challenges co-defined by researchers, professors, and industry partners will allow for a unique experimental learning opportunity in a multicultural environment. Participants get the chance to apply their knowledge to concrete real-world problems and earn ECTS upon completion of the Collider

The third EuroTeQ Collider at CTU is planned for spring 2023 as a six-day event taking place in two sessions (23 -26 March and 1 – 2 April 2023). This project course, organized by prof. Henri Achten, is based on the principles of challenge-based learning (CBL). Industry partners provide the concrete real-world challenges, while students from various faculties and backgrounds form teams to tackle these topics and come up with possible solutions. Student teams are supported by a team of CTU academics as well as mentors from the involved companies. The communication between students, teachers, and companies is organized in face-to-face sessions, supplemented by Microsoft Teams and Discord. Coordination and guidance will be provided by members of the EuroTeQ team at CTU.
