Projects Applied Research
The Applied Research track is designed for students who want to dive deep into research, exploring specific topics through data collection and analysis. Projects are provided by HZ research groups, and students can work individually, in pairs, or in teams of up to five. Depending on the chosen theme and assigned project, the working language may be English or Dutch.
Biobased Building
Discover the effects of salt on local clay in the application of earth building (cob) by:
comparing results of strength and thermal insulation, between normal and less salt samples, also with effect ...
Climate Adaptation
Europe is warming at twice the global average, posing risks to public health, productivity, and urban ecosystems. The Cool Neighbourhoods project aims to mitigate heat stress by transforming 30,000 ...
Hzensor boat
The objective of the entire HZenzor project is to develop an autonomous drone that cheap, by being good enough to get the job done. The goal for this stage of the project is to increase reliability ...

This research focuses on evaluating the financial viability of an open-field hydroponic system developed by the Mekong Saltlab to address the challenges faced by farmers in the salinity affected ...
Circulair economy-Biodiversity
How can biodiversity be promoted in the HZ Garden while also improving it visually? The student came up with 3 different sub questions:
1. How can biodiversity be measured in the HZ Garden?
2. Which ...
Circuliar economy- Willow Branches
This research discovers the possibilities for working with willows as biobased building material. The objective is to find out why willows are a good building material (or why not). By making a ...
Hzensor boat S2
The Sensor drone (Hzensor) is a project boat from DTIW that takes recordings and measurements on waters in the region. With these measurements, the HZ hopes to make improvements in the environment ...
Biobased Building S2
This project investigates how biopolymers (chitosan and alginate) can be used to improve the water resistance and durability of cob, a traditional earthen construction material.
Test project Garage
Due to the growing popularity of cycling tourism in Renesse, combined with the redevelopment of the village center, there has been an increasing number of bicycles being parked in the area. During ...
