Bridging the gap with academia
Holst Centre has strong links with some of the leading technical Universities in Benelux, including the Eindhoven University of Technology, the K.U. Leuven and the University of Twente. A number of our researchers are associated professors at these universities.
We have a framework agreement in place with the 3TU (Delft, Eindhoven, Twente) for the definition of PhD topics.
On top of this, we have access to a vast international network of universities through bilateral projects and via European or other funded projects. As a result, many PhD students and master thesis students from these universities are working on the technology programs at Holst Centre.
Our technology programs bring industry and academia together. Industry partners can drive the development of new technologies based on breakthroughs coming from the fundamental research being performed at these institutions. In return, the universities get market insight and can draw on the industry experience of our partners to help focus their research activities.
