Café Eureka

Café Eureka offers Young Professionals the place to be together and to gain experiences with an interactive interview with an inspiring guest.


Dear Young Professionals,

After a great second Café Eureka on September 18 2025 with Bert-Jan Woertman we will organize the third edition on December 4th with Rens Henselmans. He is director of Technology at QED Technologies Europe (optics manufacturing equipment). Cafe Eureka loves to show you how interesting technical careers develop. Rens is an interesting example. During his PhD study, Rens developed a system to accurately measure optical surfaces. This system is used at  the TNO optical workshop. Gerard van den Eijkel (will be our guest later) together with Rens picked up this technology to create a company which develops and sells these machines worldwide. On december 4, 2025 you will envision how this was done. During the interview, do you have a question: feel free to interfere and ask Rens personally.

In the world of precision technology, acquiring knowledge is important for the young engineers. Acquiring knowledge is made easier when you are friends with the knowledge holder. In short, making contacts is important for the young engineer. The DSPE wants to play a bigger role in involving young people in society. Café Eureka offers young engineers the place to be together and to gain experiences with an interactive interview with an inspiring guest. The interviewers will ask the guest about his experiences, but the audience is very welcome to interfere with questions. Target audience are millenials (young precision professionals) You as a young professionals are very welcome to join this café.

No costs involved for the audience. Please bring friends with you.

Date: December 4 2025

Time: 4:30pm till 7:00pm

Location: Effenaar, Dommelstraat 2 5611 CK Eindhoven
