At the end of June 2017, on the occasion of the AS Science Day, Researchers within our faculty were given the chance to win a grant of 2500 euro by writing a proposal for a new collaboration with a scientist from another department of Applied Sciences.

The jury, consisting of members from each scientific department of AS, received a total of 18 ā€˜scienceDATE’ proposals. The evaluation criteria were been based on whether the research project:

  • Will be successful given the background of the scientists
  • Is relevant within the context of the departments involved
  • Opens the door to a lasting collaboration and has a potential to attract bigger funding
  • Is novel and scientifically challenging
  • Is viable

Naturally, jury members were not allowed to judge proposals from their own department. The following proposals and researchers have won a grant:
