Education
We offer a variety of courses at BSc and MSc level that are taken by students from all study programmes of Wageningen University & Research. The courses are aligned to our overall objective for realizing smart system engineering. In parallel with our courses we offer interesting MSc and BSc thesis assignments. Further, we have an active PhD programme in which research is carried out in close collaboration with the life sciences application domains.
Research
We adopt a holistic, multidisciplinary, and interdisciplinary approach to our work, with the aim of integrating data, software, hardware, people, and processes within the organizational, institutional, and societal context. We recognize that this approach is inherently complex, given the unpredictable behavior and interaction of system components in their environment. To address this challenge, we focus on several important generic and applied research themes.
