Living Labs and Students
This is a collection for the student projects of the Msc MADE. The master’s Metropolitan Analysis, Design and Engineering (MSc MADE) is an interdisciplinary master’s programme of both Wageningen University & Research and Delft University of Technology that focusses on sustainable development. Students learn to create innovative solutions for the challenges that metropolitan regions are facing in securing environmental change, urban sustainability and the quality of life in cities. This two-year master’s in sustainable development is entrepreneurial in approach and takes place in the urban context of Amsterdam. The programme is hosted at AMS Institute and strongly aligned with the activities at the institute.
In the final year of the MSc MADE programme, students will engage in a living lab project in collaboration with a partner from AMS network. Over the course of six months (October - March), students will work in-house at an organisation for part of the week to co-creatively develop a metropolitan solution. As an end result, they deliver an innovative product or process that can help this organisation a step closer to urban sustainability in Amsterdam. -

MET Gazette (AMS Institute)
The MET Gazette is a new MADE-IT and MET forum initiative to develop a student-run magazine and offer a platform for articles, essays, and other print media in the urban context. MADE IT is the study association belonging to the students of the Metropolitan Analysis, Design and Engineering (MADE) master’s degree. The MET Forum Committee is in charge of creating events for the benefit of the students such as panel discussions and talks with experts, tours, and trips to professional conferences related to metropolitan themes.

Knowledge Clips (AMS Institute)
In this course on metropolitan challenges, students are introduced to various typologies of metropoles throughout the world, with the city of Amsterdam as a real life example. The course covers all aspects of what makes a metropolis. It integrates technical systems and networks, from the point of view that each system is open, and influences the other. It gives a historical-critical overview, with reasons for the existence and emergence of cities, and the technological challenges they face today. The metropolis is approached as a web of interrelated socio-technical systems in which professionals are challenged to integrate knowledge and analytical, design and engineering skills. The course presents a range of conceptual views on technologies and practices in the cycles and spheres of urban mobility, water, healthcare and wellbeing, food, waste, and energy. Students learn and develop different concepts related to contemporary urban practices, and elaborate on them by means of modelling and design, producing a written account. Learning activities in this course include lectures, studio research work in teams, field study in Amsterdam (by executing observations, interviews with stakeholders, and other methods presented in the course), as well as presentations and peer evaluations.
This is a collection of videos by students for the course. In these videos students tackle different issues in the city. -

Educational Symposium 2022 (AMS Institute)
In celebration of the 5-year anniversary of the MSc MADE program, the educational symposium was organised on the 16th of November. In this collection, you can enjoy various highlights form the symposium.
The MADE master program is built on the idea that its education should take place in close interaction with the world (or rather, city). Something quite special has emerged over the past five years.
During this symposium we want to invite you to join us in a conversation about education configurations that try to move beyond the boundaries of disciplines and the safe campus. In this collection, you will learn from others, get inspired and reflect on current educational practices.

MADE studentportfolios 2022-2023
MADE student portfolios from the cohort 2022-2023.
The master’s Metropolitan Analysis, Design and Engineering (MSc MADE) is an interdisciplinary master’s programme of both Wageningen University & Research and Delft University of Technology that focusses on sustainable development. Students learn to create innovative solutions for the challenges that metropolitan regions are facing in securing environmental change, urban sustainability and the quality of life in cities. This two-year master’s in sustainable development is entrepreneurial in approach and takes place in the urban context of Amsterdam. The programme is hosted at AMS Institute and strongly aligned with the activities at the institute.In the first year students focus on three core themes to acquire the competencies to solve metropolitan problems. Electives allow for self-designed tracks in Wageningen and Delft University of Technology to facilitate specialization. In the second year, the living lab course supports co-operation with public or private partners in the Amsterdam metropolitan region. The thesis course supports advanced theoretical understanding of metropolitan complexities, and of related methods needed to substantiate innovative socio-technical solutions.
