Joint Interdisciplinary Project

The Joint Interdisciplinary Project aims to prepare students to contribute to impactful technological solutions for industrial/governmental R&D and support one or more of the Global Sustainable Development Goals or ToPsectoren in the Netherlands.
Interdisciplinary and Intercultural teams of students work for a dedicated ten weeks on a complex problem to realise an innovative and viable (primarily)technical solution.

Team deliverables include a report, prototype, concept model and a business case to instigate continued developments. A company coach and JIP staff provide team guidance.
Along the way, the companies and TU Delft offer students academic and industry expertise. The projects demand sound engineering, working knowledge and experience with interdisciplinary and systems theory, as well as knowledge and mindsets of innovation and entrepreneurial behaviour.
The project brief is provided by renowned companies like Airbus, Embraer, Huisman,VanOord, Royal Haskoning DHV, Tahmo, Nationale Politie, Erasmus MC, and KLM.
