Media: Fontys participeert in onderzoek naar koolstofarme toekomst

A podcast from Kadans Science Partner

Cars are taking over more and more tasks from drivers. Think of parking or driving on the highway. So, technically a lot is already possible when it comes to autonomous driving. But how realistic is it that in the future a car will take over all tasks from humans? Is it possible for a smart car to process the same amount of impulses as a human driver while driving through a busy city? Can an automated system make the same well-considered choices as humans?

We are getting closer to the summer period and it seems we will soon return to our offices and labs to work, meet and collaborate with each other safely. An important event is that the results of our yearly OpenCall are now known. We are happy to announce that four new innovative and iconic OpenCall 2021 project proposals, valued at over 11 million euros, have been granted. We are excited to welcome these projects and have them join our internal community! Read more in this newsletter.

In this edition, you can also check out the second part of the two-part interview with former Advisory Board member Jan Mengelers on Eindhoven Engine, an innovation powerhouse. Additionally, we again participated in TU/e’s PDEng Design Challenge. This time, the Library of the Future was our challenge for the PDEng trainees. We also want to share the interesting work of Ralf Zelders from his consultancy work on the business innovation perspective of activities at Eindhoven Engine, as well as news from the Academy, the building up of our internal community and our contribution during the Dutch Technology Week with the Smart Mobility @ Eindhoven Engine broadcast and a talk show titled ‘A Vital Working Environment’.

For most of us, the summer holidays are in sight and it looks like the summer is going to be as normal as we could have wished for over the last year.

“There are more exciting things coming up after summer; we will keep you posted!”

Joris Dufils – Eindhoven Engine Community

For me personally, it’s also a moment to reflect a bit on what we’ve achieved since the beginning of the year and what we need to pick up after the summer. It’s incredible satisfying to see that we kept on and keep on growing our community of practice, enabling you to connect with peers and people from different backgrounds, domains and businesses in order to accelerate innovation. Some interesting topics emerged in the webinars and we held a successful workshop series around the future of work. The co-location will receive amazing, active art designed and developed by young artists Tjeu van Bussel and Serge Gruson, which will be finished before the summer. We are also preparing the onboarding of new Eindhoven Engine projects and I would like to reach out to you to give them a warm welcome during the next webinar in July. There are more exciting things coming up after summer; we will keep you posted!
