Are you a student who has carried out a research project with interesting results in the past year? Do you think you have a chance to win the award for the best video pitch? We challenge you to present your project to lecturers, researchers, and fellow students from all fifteen DAS universities of applied sciences, as well as to a jury of experts from both academia and industry.

During the Applied Science Pitch Competition, students compete for the award for the best pitch of their research project.
The pitches are evaluated by a jury composed of representatives from industry, research, and education. In addition, participants of the annual DAS Conference will select the winner of the Audience Award. In the week of March 9, a presentation skills training will be offered to help you prepare.

The Applied Science Pitch Competition will take place during the DAS Conference on March 19, 2026, in Utrecht. For more information about registration or the procedure please visit the subpages.

Please note: the conference will be held in Dutch, but international students are welcome to take part in the Applied Science Pitch Competition and present their projects in English.
