For instance, the IIS provided a project leader and deployed a learning trajectory tool to define the learning objectives per theme with the curriculum committee, even before the start of the programme. The IIS also advised on the accreditation process and was involved in developing Design Thinking methods for technical education.

In this programme, students can invent and manufacture solutions to current societal and technological challenges in the so-called UvA Makerspace. This technical workspace, designed specifically for this degree programme, already opened its doors in September 2022 for the affiliated minor 'Science, Technology & Innovation: Biomimicry'. Students have been able to successfully utilize the UvA Makerspace, which offers plenty of room for experimentation, and have completed their first projects by now.
