The professorship Computer Vision & Data Science implements the Design Based Education (DBE) educational concept. Students, teacher-researchers and companies work together on real-life projects in a complex and international context. This creates an inspiring environment which promotes intrinsic motivation and thereby achieves added value for all stakeholders. The roles are tuned to optimize learning for everyone, while at the same time be goal-oriented so that the outcome of a project is of real value.
