Board

Wieger Lamers - Chair

Hi! I'm Wieger, and I've been living in Delft for 3 years now. I'm currently in my second year of Civil Engineering, and this year I will be the chairman of the board. What initially drew me to Students4Sustainability is the opportunity to apply students' knowledge and skills on a global scale to promote sustainability. Additionally, I find it rewarding to inspire and engage students in sustainability through organizing various activities and events. The urgency and importance of sustainability cannot be overstated—we must work together to find solutions to the pressing challenges we face. This year, as a board member, I am dedicated to investing my time, energy, and focus to make a meaningful impact.

Gerben Post - Secretary

My name is Gerben, and this year I am the secretary of the S4S board. I'm really enjoying this role because I like planning, organizing, and keeping an overview of everything going on in and around our board. Besides S4S, I am pursuing a master's in Industrial Ecology, which focuses on the intersection between technology, policy and ecology. This master's program aligns very well with my interests as after my bachelor's in Industrial Design, I realized that I wanted to focus more on sustainability than design, to later find a job in the sustainability sector. I am very excited about this board year at S4S because I want to learn more about the organizational and professional aspects of running a foundation. Additionally, I enjoy involving other students in sustainable topics, which I’m sure we will achieve this year during our events!

Jonas van Waveren - treasurer

Hey! My name is Jonas, and this year I am the Treasurer of the S4S board. Besides S4S, I am working on my Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering at TU Delft. In my studies, I learn a lot about systems, analysis, and design. However, I felt there was a lack of involvement in utilizing all the talent and energy in Delft for a sustainable world. There is so much enthusiasm for sustainability, and I hope to harness that this year with my board! Not only by organizing exciting and inspiring activities and supporting our committees but also by assisting all the innovative student projects that come our way.

Thiska Blijker - Head of projects

Hi! As Head of Projects, I, Thiska, will be focusing this year within S4S on taking on and guiding new projects. During my bachelor's in Environmental Sciences at Wageningen and my master's in Industrial Ecology at Delft and Leiden, I gained a lot of knowledge about sustainability. In my role at S4S, I have the opportunity to apply this expertise in practice and discover which approach suits me best. 

Over the past few years, I have come to realize that the issues surrounding sustainability are very complex and require a systems approach: from local to international levels, from social to technical strategies, and from short to long-term solutions. I look forward to sharing these new insights with the students at TU and inspiring them to adopt a different perspective on sustainability, especially within such a technical environment as Delft. 

I am excited to work together with my fellow board members to organize inspiring activities and support creative projects. 

Do you have a fun project? Sign up for an intake interview via our website now. I am always open to brainstorming about projects or other initiatives, so don't hesitate to contact me at: projecten@students4sustainability.nl!

Fleur Hagen - Head of activities

Hi! My name is Fleur, and during my Bachelor's in Industrial Design, I focused a lot on how to design products and services that truly add value to the world without contributing to excessive consumption or waste of resources. This year, I’m excited to apply the knowledge and insights I’ve gained by organizing activities for which I am the main coordinator.

With S4S, we aim to inspire and activate students in Delft around the theme of sustainability. We notice that many students have a bleak outlook on the future and feel like they cannot make a difference themselves. That’s why we want to paint a more positive picture of the future and offer them practical tools through our events to lead a more sustainable life. I’m looking forward to learning even more about sustainability during my board year and discovering ways to make a positive impact myself!
