In this 3rd EPA Thesis Conference, EPA students will present the results of their individual research projects to external relations, future commissioners, employers, current and future EPA students, family and friends. During the conference, you can join sessions on a wide variety of research topics such as resilience, energy transition, cyber security and data and modelling challenges.
We scheduled seven sessions of 20 minutes presentations and short pitches, in total 25 students will present their research. You can participate as well in one of the three challenging workshops in the field of data science workflows or creating a new society (The Seriously Quiet Year). Stijn Hoorens, one of the very first alumni from the TU Delft faculty of Technology, Policy and Management ever and associate director of RAND Europe in Brussels is our keynote speaker.

Many of the societal challenges in the 21st century, such as climate adaptation and energy transition, strongly depend on technological innovations. TU Delft considers it its social responsibility to bring state-of-the-art engineering knowledge closer to the world of policy-making. The objective of this effort is to contribute to better informed policy making and implementation.
