Societal Challenge Project

In EPA221B, you will apply the knowledge you obtained in the first year of the EPA Program to a (partial) solution for a specific societal challenge. In this course, you will work on one of the cases defined by an external case owner, such as the Ministry of the Interior, the Digicampus, or the Municipality of the Hague. The projects address a real-life problem, i.e. a societal challenge, and allow you to work on a real consultancy job with a real customer organization under the supervision of a group of dedicated staff members from both TU Delft and the case owners. The projects aim at integrating elements from the 'Policy en Politics' line of the EPA curriculum, as well as the 'Modelling en Simulation' line. You will work in groups of three to five students and present your solution to the case owner and the TU Delft staff at the end of the course. Students who are studying abroad at the time of this course will follow the online version of this course. Students who are not studying abroad need to follow the on-campus version of this course.
