SBP Conference 2022

6, 7 & 8 July

See you again next year!

5, 6 & 7 July 2023

Welcome to the SBP Conference 2022!

This annual event is the grand finale of the Science, Business & Policy Master's track of the Faculty of Science and Engineering at the University of Groningen. At this conference, our students present the projects they have been working on for the last half a year.

Our students really did an amazing job! They've combined the scientific expertise of their science discipline with business or policy issues and formulated usable advice for their clients. As these are their graduation projects, we are sending them off into the world as brand new consultants after this conference.

All of our students have been working tirelessly on a consultancy project for a client. These clients are ranging from small start-ups to big multinationals, (local and national) governments, and NGOs. We are proud to present you with a very diverse collection of very interesting projects! Go ahead and take a look at the abstracts and at the conference timetable.

For those who graduate: you did it! Well done and thanks for the inspiration you brought us. We wish you success with the last steps of your graduation and the start of your careers. It would be wonderful if you keep us updated on all your career moves since we are very curious about where our alumni end up.

We wish you all a very fruitful and rewarding conference!

On behalf of the complete SBP-staff,
