Work procedure

If cooperation seems interesting, we would be glad to discuss the possibility during a (short) meeting. That way you can get to know us better and we can discuss or suggest possible casework. When an agreement on a case is made, we will assign someone on our roster to the case. We will then define the specifics of the assignment and make an estimation for the case duration. In addition, the estimated timeline will be given.This will be presented to you to see what needs adjustment. If all is deemed well a contract will be drawn up. During this process will keep in touch with you as much as necessary.Our hourly rate is 35 euros (excluding VAT). In general a case will be between 30-300 total work hours.

Case examples

Below, a couple of examples of casework are given:

Designing floor tests for a company that realizes many warehouses and was looking for a floor type for it. The students working on this case researched different test designs, wrote scripts for different tests, and reported on the results.
Making a technical design for a company that was looking for a good construction for a sunblind system.
Researching the applicability of small-scale hydrogen filling stations. This research consisted of three parts: the production of hydrogen, the transport of hydrogen, and a market analysis.

These are just some examples. Don’t hesistate to contact us if you have any questions about your case.
