Grand Challenge Accepted 2025

Dear all,

You are cordially invited to the eighth Thesis Conference from the Engineering and Policy Analysis (EPA) program: “Grand Challenge Accepted 2025.”

We are pleased to host this event at the Wijnhaven Building, part of TU Delft's campus in The Hague. Throughout the day, you will have the opportunity to connect with the EPA community, attend a keynote speech, listen to presentations by EPA students, and participate in an alumni panel discussion. The day will conclude with a sunny beach party at Scheveningen, with food included.

The final stage of the TU Delft Engineering & Policy Analysis Master’s program is a half-year thesis research project. At this 8th EPA Thesis Conference, EPA students will present the results of their individual research projects to external relations, alumni, potential commissioners, employers, current and future EPA students, family, and friends.

This year’s keynote presentation, titled Living Policy, will be delivered by Marit Maij, member of the European Parliament.
