DSPE and LiS join forces

SDPE supports the nationwide expansion of the Leidse instrumentmakers School (LiS) to strengthen the pipeline of precision manufacturing professionals in the Netherlands.

By connecting LiS’s long-standing craftsmanship standards with DSPE’s professional community of engineers, scientists, companies and technical specialists, the two organisations aim to reinforce a skills base essential to the Dutch high-tech industry, as described in this Mikroniek article. The LiS expansion is supported by funding from the national Beethoven programme. (Photo: Hielco Kuipers)
