On June 15, 2023 the first National Challenge-Based Learning (CBL) Conference took take place in Eindhoven. Over 250 education and research professionals gathered to discuss CBL and its impact on educating future engineers. Ines Lopez Arteaga highlighted the significant role of CBL in TU/e's Bachelor College curricula, setting the tone for the conference. Isabelle Reymen's keynote on CBL and the case of innovation Space added valuable insights into Challenge-Based Learning and its Ecosystem.

The event featured workshops, presentations, and roundtables on course & curriculum design, student learning, and teaching & teacher learning. Field trips to proto-zone and TU/e innovation Space were an added option. We congratulate Robin de Graaf, Adina Imanbayeva, Raymond Loohuis from the University of Twente for winning the poster prize with Challenge Up! a digital tool facilitating the transition to CBL in existing higher education courses.
