4th newsletter

June 2020

Welcome to our fourth edition of the newsletter! From now on the newsletter will be structured with the 3 main segments: The Design, The Team and The (Advisory) Partners

The Design

The end of the educational year is approaching and so is the end of another phase of the competition. The team is currently working hard on completing the deliverable #2 deadline for the Solar Decathlon. In order to have a relaxing summer holiday, we hope to complete this succesfully!
The Corona situation has had a noticeable effect on not only society, but also the competition. Due to the complications, the SDE competition has been postponed by 9 months to the year 2022. Whether the name of the SDE will change to 22 is still yet unclear. Our team is still very motivated to keep going and complete the competition however, and the heartbeat has not been lost!

The Team

The HR department of VIRTUe is working hard on expanding our team. We currently reached a total of 30 members! To commemorate the occasion, a celebration will be planned within the team. VIRTUe is looking forward to welcoming even more members to the team!
If you are interested in following our team developments in even more detail, then feel free to check out our VIRTUe Instagram. Recently, we have also reached 1000 followers on the page!

The Advisory Partners

The team is currently working on getting more partners on board that focus on the producing side of the project. This brings a near end to the phase of acquiring advisory partners for the project. To keep you updated on our advisory partners, there will be an update about our collaboration and their expertise. Get to know them even more in our future brainstorm sessions!
