We are looking for motivated students to join the UT at the SensUs biosensing competition.

This is organized by the Technical University of Eindhoven and the theme of SensUs 2023 is “Traumatic Brain Injury”.

The competition is open for all BSc and MSc students. We are specifically targeting master students as core team members and final year bachelor students.

The competition offers a holistic view on medical device innovations, including biosensor design, implementation and demonstration in combination with clinical translation and business development. This means we need students from multiple disciplines including nanotechnology, biomedical engineering, chemistry, technical medicine, electrical engineering, embedded systems, applied physics, health sciences, industrial design, international business and computer science.

Participating students learn a wide range of skills such as scientific, entrepreneurial, communication and networking. The competition takes place in Eindhoven during the last week of August 2023, where the team will demonstrate their biosensor on-site, pitch their business plan and engage with other teams and industrial partners. The students get exposed to a great industrial and academic network.

The students receive up to 15ECTS credits (in coordination with their study programmes), and do this part time (typically from December-January until the competition in summer 2023).

Deadline to apply: 25th of November.
