About this role
Valorisation: information for industry Is your company facing a technological problem or a challenging design issue that needs unraveling? Through our Engineering Doctorate (EngD) programme you can hire a technological designer who can design and develop complex new products and processes and offer innovative solutions to your technological design issues. The 'Design for AgriFood and Ecological Systems' programme at Wageningen University is a two-year post-master designer programme in which the EngD candidate develops a complex new design in collaboration with industry, which leads to the academic degree of an Engineering Doctorate (EngD). The EngD candidate follows a tailored curriculum and develops a design that offers innovative solutions to your technological design issues. The final result will be a design that will, directly or indirectly, contribute to increasing the sustainability of agri- or horticulture, livestock farming, or the living environment in general. The candidate is responsible for a solution in consultation with your organisation and the University. The basic principle of the EngD programme is that the candidate, the set of courses and the expert coaching will come together with only one thought: 'the best possible solution for the design problem'. The design project will be defined by your company and executed by our candidate, supervised by one of our highly experienced design scientists in collaboration with you. It's also possible for your own employee to pursue the academic degree of an Engineering Doctorate (EngD), fulltime or parttime, and continue their professional development through our programme. EngD candidates will be given the opportunity to undertake a salaried programme in which they complete a design project tailored to the client's needs. As the industrial partner, you will be asked to pay for the costs incurred by each project. What are the benefits of hiring an EngD candidate? • Yo...
