In 2025, we expect there will be 124 students, so 21 project teams (19 teams of 6 and 2 teams of 5). We aim to advertise at least 23 design briefs, to allow for necessary cancellations.
In 2026, we expect there will be ??? students, so ?? project teams (?? teams of 6 and ?? teams of 5). We aim to advertise at least ?? design briefs, to allow for necessary cancellations.
