Our Team
Our team is multidisciplinary and currently consists of 31 students, from the University of Twente and University of Applied Science Saxion Enschede. The team is divided into three main subteams; Management team, Communication team, and Technical team. The technical team is again divided into two subteams; the mechanics team and the hydro-electric team.
Within each team, every person has a role that specifies their practices. This also applies to the management team and the communication team. Below is the team reveal video of the past years’ team displayed. The current team will present themselves during their first event; the Green Team Twente Kick-Off! After this event, the newest team reveal video will be presented here.
Team reveal 2023-2024
Management
Christina Keysers
Team Manager
As an Industrial Design Engineer who sleeps surrounded by 30+ plants, I am certainly all about that innovative and green life. And why did I want to become a Team Manager? I’ve got a thing for organization and planning.

Call me a stereotypical mechanical engineer, but I like racing cars. As the Technical Manager, my task is to plan and oversee the project, which provides me with the opportunity to learn things beyond the boundaries of my studies.
Laurie Rand
Communication Manager
As an industrial design engineerer with a creative mindset I would like to make a difference in society. I see Green Team Twente as the perfect opportunity to start making a difference and to discover and develop new talents.
Joris Huis
Extern and Finance manager
From my experience as Industrial Engineering and Management student, I knew that diversity in a work environment is important to me. Not only within the team, but in my responsibilities as well. Extern & Finance manager suits this the best.
Jorn de Ruiter

I put my creativity into painting, just like I could put it in my bachelor Industrial Design Engineering. I love a challenge and work well under pressure, so Green Team Twente is one I will take for the full 100%.
Inez Rommes
Event Coördinator
During the past two years of my study I have enjoyed using creativity to organize small events. With Green Team Twente I hope to step it up to contribute to the energy transition.
Jeroen Nieuwenhof
Graphic Designer
Recently, I finished my Bachelor Industrial Design Engineering during which I could express my creativity. My most recent creative outburst was designing a boardgame, after which I decided I wanted to become the graphic designer of the team.
Tiemen Tenhagen
