Student advisory agency Scompany of HU University of Applied Sciences Utrecht helps organisations with communication challenges
Effective communication can be quite a challenge due to lack of time, resources or knowledge: Scompany can help!
Scompany is the student consultancy of 4th-year communication students from the Communication study programme, HU University of Applied Sciences Utrecht. Working as a team, they tackle your communication issue with a fresh outlook and up-to-date knowledge. All kinds of communication issues are submitted to Scompany: from brand awareness, image, online strategy and job market communication, to internal communication and knowledge sharing.
Scompany’s junior advisers research the issue and come up with concrete, tailor-made advice in nine weeks. During the assignment period, the junior advisers work from Scompany’s office at the HU, under the guidance of senior advisers (expert lecturers). This is being done at a reduced rate.

Living Lab in the Spotlight: Utrecht Science Park
Utrecht Science Park is home to several living labs focused on energy and circularity. These include Lumifield, which explores the generation and storage of solar energy, and the biogas digester, which uses organic waste as an energy source. On their own, these are already promising initiatives. Connected, they could become something much bigger: a functioning, learning model for a circular campus.
From student idea during challenge to ReGreen Hut at Dutch Design Week
On hot summer days, temperatures can rise significantly at Utrecht Science Park, while students are looking for places to study, relax and find some shade outdoors. At the same time, planting trees is not always straightforward: underground, the campus is crisscrossed by a dense network of cables and utility lines. So how can we create shade, greenery and places to relax without major changes to the ground?
