Wij Inholland
Wij Inholland is a project that seeks to bridge education and practice. It offers students a platform to distinguish themselves with an innovative project that ties in with the themes of either health, sustainability or creativity. Other criteria are that the project has to span multiple disciplines, create value for the region and collaborate with a company, agency or municipality.
Last year's winner of the Wij Inholland award was the 'Drones in the greenhouse' group, made up of Aeronautical Engineering students Lucien Fesselet, Chris Ramsey, Bram Sanders and Will Simmonds from Delft. Their project developed a drone that inspects greenhouse plants for disease.
