CORE

CORE is a cooperative of engineering students and committed partners developing concepts for efficient and rational energy use. We seek solutions that are socially relevant, economically viable, and technically feasible. Through awareness campaigns, we promote the importance of cooperative entrepreneurship and rational energy consumption. By maximizing the use of materials and products throughout their lifecycle, we also contribute to the principles of the circular economy.

Function

Within CORE, you function as a project engineer, contributing to both project work and daily operations.

Daily Operations:

As a cooperative, CORE takes responsibility for its daily operations, including tasks related to finance, administration, PR, management, recruitment, social media, and more. Each team member is assigned specific responsibilities within the daily operations, and they are expected to balance these with their project work.

Project Engineer:

In addition to daily operations, our focus lies in projects related to rational energy use. Through these projects, students gain practical experience in the field, realizing tangible outcomes. They build expertise in project planning, customer-centric thinking, communication, and more. While some projects may be ongoing from previous years, every new team has the freedom to pursue new projects based on their interests!

Postgraduate

CORE is an innovation project affiliated with the English-language Postgraduate Tech Innovations in Ventures & Teams program.

This postgraduate program focuses on innovation, entrepreneurship, and professional skills and is designed for (recently graduated or soon-to-be-graduated) students in engineering, sciences, and technology. The program offers students a unique perspective on the business world and entrepreneurship through participation in a team or startup project. You will not only develop qualities related to the business world and entrepreneurship but also grow personally and professionally. In addition to the team project, you will also follow a self-constructed study program tailored to your interests. For more information, visit www.techinvent.be.
