1. Purpose of the Meeting |
The meeting was convened to explore a potential collaboration between Nexora Solutions and the University of Applied Sciences Rotterdam around the design and delivery of a Challenge-Based Learning (CBL) programme. Nexora expressed interest in co-creating real-world challenges for students, while the university sought a... |
2. Key Discussion Points |
2.1 What Nexora is Looking For |
Daan Vermeer opened by explaining that Nexora wants to move away from traditional internship models toward more structured, project-based engagement with students. |
The company is specifically interested in challenges relating to data-driven decision-making and sustainable supply chain optimisation — two strategic priority areas for 2027. |
Roel van den Berg noted that having students work on a live product challenge would be mutually beneficial, provided IP boundaries are clearly defined upfront. |
2.2 University's CBL Framework |
Dr. Osei gave an overview of the university's existing CBL structure. Students work in multidisciplinary teams of 4–6 over a 10-week sprint, guided by a company challenge statement rather than a predefined brief. |
Jorn Klasen clarified that the university retains academic ownership of the process, including grading, while the company acts as a challenge owner — providing context, access to relevant staff, and feedback at two defined milestone moments. |
The framework has been piloted with three companies in 2024–2025 (names not disclosed) with positive outcomes reported. |
2.3 Student & Logistical Considerations |
Fatima El-Amrani explained that cohort size for the relevant programme is approximately 80 students, typically divided across 4–5 company challenges simultaneously. |
Nexora would be assigned one challenge with one team (5–6 students) in the pilot year, with the option to scale. |
Students are third-year Bachelor's level; some have prior work experience. |
2.4 IP and Confidentiality |
Both parties flagged that IP ownership needs to be addressed before any agreement is signed. |
Lena Hartog will consult Nexora's legal team on a template NDA/IP clause suitable for an educational context. |
The university noted it has a standard partnership agreement that has been used with industry before and can be shared as a starting point. |

5. Next Steps |
A follow-up meeting is tentatively scheduled for late June 2026. The goal of that session will be to finalise the challenge statement, agree on the partnership structure, and set a timeline toward a February 2027 kick-off. |
Both parties expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration and agreed the partnership is a strong fit in principle. |

Meeting notes — CBL x Nexora |
Inez, 13/05 |
Aanwezig: |
Daan + Lena + Roel (Nexora) / Dr. Osei + Jorn + Fatima (Hogeschool Rotterdam) |
Nexora wil af van het klassieke stagemodel — liever iets met echte uitdagingen. Twee thema's die ze interessant vinden: data-driven besluitvorming & duurzame supply chain. Roel maakte wel een punt over IP, dat moet goed geregeld zijn voordat we verder gaan. |
Jorn legde het CBL-format uit — 10 weken, teams van 5-6 studenten, Nexora is "challenge owner" (dus geen docent, maar ook geen baas). Twee feedbackmomenten, wij blijven verantwoordelijk voor de beoordeling. Heeft blijkbaar al gewerkt bij een paar andere bedrijven vorig jaar. |
Qua studenten: 3e jaar, ± 80 per cohort, verdeeld over meerdere challenges. Nexora krijgt in het eerste jaar één team. Klein beginnen, kijken hoe het loopt. |
Actiepunten: |
Fatima stuurt partnerovereenkomst → voor 27/5 |
Lena checkt met legal re: IP → voor 10/6 |
Roel schrijft 2-3 challenge-ideeën uit → voor 10/6 |
Follow-up plannen voor week van 16/6 |
Start beoogd: februari 2027. Sfeer was goed, beide partijen enthousiast. Wordt vervolgd! |
