What is SensUs?

SensUs is organized by students from the TU/e. We set the goals and we define the rules. We coach the Teams, and organize the entire contest week where all participating teams come together in Eindhoven. Teams participate from North-America, Asia, Africa, and many countries in Europe. Last year, the SensUs Event was viewed by over 20.000 people globally.

However, SensUs is more than a competition. We develop a vibrant ecosystem with innovative companies, experts, patients, students, startups, and healthcare professionals. We stimulate education by offering a highly innovative form of education geared toward multidisciplinary, goal-oriented, learning-by-doing engineering.

Our vision

The SensUs Student Competition was set up to improve biological sensing. SensUs strives to accelerate the development of sensors for health and to stimulate education and innovation in the field of biosensing. This year, the Theme is acute inflammation with a focus on sepsis. A biosensor could help intensivists, general practitioners or the patients themselves to assess this condition in an early stage before harm has occurred.

What will you do?

Below you find several positions that are open in our Organization. In addition to these positions, you can develop yourself doing smaller projects, e.g. innovate this very website, organize a competition for high school students, develop a course for professionals or a different project you come up with.

This is what makes SensUs unique. You can choose your own challenges, your own tasks and shape your own development. We create the innovative enviroment within the Organization to let you explore your interests.
