TU Delft vision teams
TU Delft regularly launches vision teams to learn about perspectives on technologies that exist in society. TU Delft is at the foreground of developing technologies and is informing society about these technologies and their uses. With vision teams we want to understand concerns about the impact of technologies and explore how they can be made of better use to society.
