What is a thesislab?
In tackling today’s challenges, nothing is simple. To shape a better future, we need to be inquisitive and bold. This means crossing disciplinary borders, embracing the discomfort of not knowing, and navigating complexity. This is not just a thesis—it’s a real adventure.
Make real impact with your thesis by joining an LDE Thesis lab. You will write your individual master thesis based on a real-life challenge. Together with students from other disciplines, you will join an extracurricular program to unravel the complexity of the Lab's challenge. In workshops, enrichment sessions and excursions you meet professionals, academic experts and societal partners. Together you learn, share and collaborate and contribute to a common, interdisciplinary result with real impact.
