TU/e and Vanderlande Industries B.V. have made arrangements on internships and conducting research at Vanderlande Industries B.V. The arrangements relate to such things as intellectual property rights, confidentiality, liability and insurance. The arrangements have been in place since 7 September 2020 and are set out in the 'Internship and graduation project framework agreement'.
The 'Internship and graduaction project framework agreement' is important for TU/e students doing internships or carrying out graduation research at Vanderlande Industries B.V., and for TU/e supervisors supervising these students. It also has consequences for members of Examination Committees, thesis committees and review committees (NVAO) who need to have access to the internship report or final thesis for quality control.
