Grant information

Erasmus+ Study Scholarships are available to TU Delft students who will study at a partner university within the EU for 2 to 12 months. TU Delft can provide financial support for a maximum of 360 days of a stay abroad per study cycle (BSc/MSc). Exchange students AY 2023-2024 The information on this webpage has been updated for students planning to go abroad for their study programme in 2024-2025. Students who have been, or are currently, on an exchange programme should refer to their Grant Agreement for more specific information about their grant. The information below is only for exchange students going abroad in the next academic year for a study programme. Exchange Students AY 2024-2025 Depending on where your exchange programme takes place, the countries listed in Table A indicates the monthly amount of scholarship you will receive. In addition to this monthly amount, all students will receive an additional travel grant (called No Green Travel) based on the distance from TU Delft to the Host University. Distances are calculated using a distance band between TU Delft Aula as the place of origin, and the venue of the activity for your Erasmus+ mobility (main address of the host institute). Exchange students AY 2025-2026 Students planning to go on an exchange in the academic year of 2025-2026 can find general information about the Erasmus+ Scholarship here. Please be aware changes will occur to the application procedure and financing. TU Delft expects to receive updates from the EU and our national Agency – Nuffic in May 2025. Grant Amount Students will receive a standard monthly grant which will include a Travel Distance Allowance. Check the two tables below to see which grant amounts you may receive. For example: Student going to DTU in Denmark will receive €390 per month + a one-time payment of €309 for their travel allowance. Group Countries Scholarship 1 Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Ireland, Luxembourg, Sweden, Liechtenstein, Norway €390 per month 2 Austria, Belgium, Germany, France, Italy, Greece, Spain, Cyprus, Malta, Portugal, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, North Macedonia, Turkey €330 per month Please note that a calculation will be made on the basis that one month is equivalent to 30 days. This table provides an overview of the travel distance, travel grant (No Green Travel) and green travel grant (Green travel). The ‘No Green travel’ amount (one-time payment) will be paid to all students going on exchange, with the first 70% payment. If you travel sustainably to and from your destination, you will receive a one-time payment of the ‘Green Travel’ amount with the last payment of 30%. Example of calculation: Travel distance to host 150 km, student receives €211,- from the No Green Travel grant with their first payment. Student travels green and will receive the remaining amount of €74,- with their second payment. Table B: Switzerland You cannot apply for an Erasmus+ grant for studies in Switzerland. Instead, the Swiss university may be able to apply for a grant for you via the Swiss European Mobility Programme . Contact your Swiss host university for details. Additional financial support for students For students planning to go abroad, the Erasmus+ Scholarship provides additional ‘Top Ups’ for students who plan to travel ‘Green’ to their host university and to those students needing extra funding for health or financial barriers, who without this funding would not be able to experience an exchange abroad. Green Travel Top up Students who choose sustainable travel methods—such as train, bus, bike, or carpooling with fellow TU Delft students (excluding family)—to and from their host university at the beginning and end of their exchange program can apply for extra funding. If approved, this funding will be added to the Erasmus+ grant and is based on the travel distance in kilometers between TU Delft and the host institution. The additional funding will be paid out once your exchange program is complete. Please remember to save your travel tickets as proof. You can request this top up in Osiris Student. Required documents can be found online . How to apply: Before Mobility 1.

TU Delft jointly wins XPRIZE Rainforest drone competition in Brazil

TU Delft jointly wins in the XPRIZE Rainforest competition in the Amazon, Brazil Imagine using rapid and autonomous robot technology for research into the green and humid lungs of our planet; our global rainforests. Drones that autonomously deploy eDNA samplers and canopy rafts uncover the rich biodiversity of these complex ecosystems while revealing the effects of human activity on nature and climate change. On November 15, 2024, after five years of intensive research and competition, the ETHBiodivX team, which included TU Delft Aerospace researchers Salua Hamaza and Georg Strunck, achieved an outstanding milestone: winning the XPRIZE Rainforest Bonus Prize for outstanding effort in co-developing inclusive technology for nature conservation. The goal: create automated technology and methods to gain near real-time insights about biodiversity – providing necessary data that can inform conservation action and policy, support sustainable bioeconomies, and empower Indigenous Peoples and local communities who are the primary protectors and knowledge holders of the planet’s tropical rainforests. The ETHBiodivX team, made of experts in Robotics, eDNA, and Data Insights, is tackling the massive challenge of automating and streamlining the way we monitor ecosystems. Leading the Robotics division, a collaboration between TU Delft’s Prof. Salua Hamaza, ETH Zurich’s Prof. Stefano Mintchev and Aarhus University’s Profs. Claus Melvad and Toke Thomas Høye, is developing cutting-edge robotic solutions to gather ecology and biology data autonomously. “We faced the immense challenge of deploying robots in the wild -- and not just any outdoor environment but one of the most demanding and uncharted: the wet rainforests. This required extraordinary efforts to ensure robustness and reliability, pushing the boundaries of what the hardware could achieve for autonomous data collection of images, sounds, and eDNA, in the Amazon” says prof. Hamaza. “Ultimately, this technology will be available to Indigenous communities as a tool to better understand the forest's ongoing changes in biodiversity, which provide essential resources as food and shelter to the locals.” . . . .

Students Amos Yusuf, Mick Dam & Bas Brouwer winners of Mekel Prize 2024

Master students Amos Yusuf, from the ME faculty (Mick Dam, from the EEMCS faculty and graduate Bas Brouwer have won the Mekel Prize 2024 for the best extra scientific activity at TU Delft: the development of an initiative that brings master students into the classroom teaching sciences to the younger generations. The prize was ceremonially awarded by prof Tim van den Hagen on 13 November after the Van Hasselt Lecture at the Prinsenhof, Delft. They received a statue of Professor Jan Mekel and 1.500,- to spend on their project. Insights into climate change are being openly doubted. Funding for important educational efforts and research are being withdrawn. Short clips – so called “reels” – on Youtube and TikTok threaten to simplify complex political and social problems. AI fakes befuddle what is true and what is not. The voices of science that contribute to those discussion with modesty, careful argument and scepticism, are drowned in noise. This poses a threat for universities like TU Delft, who strive to increase student numbers, who benefit from diverse student populations and aim to pass on their knowledge and scientific virtues to the next generation. It is, therefore, alarming that student enrolments to Bachelor and Master Programs at TU Delft have declined in the past year. Students in front of the class The project is aimed to make the sciences more appealing to the next generation. They have identified the problem that students tend miss out on the opportunity of entering a higher education trajectory in the Beta sciences – because they have a wrong picture of such education. In their mind, they depict it as boring and dry. In his pilot lecture at the Stanislas VMBO in Delft, Amos Yusuf has successfully challenged this image. He shared his enthusiasm for the field of robotics and presented himself as a positive role model to the pupils. And in return the excitement of the high school students is palpable in the videos and pictures from the day. The spark of science fills their eyes. Bas Brouwer Mick Dam are the founders of NUVO – the platform that facilitates the engagement of Master Students in high school education in Delft Their efforts offer TU Delft Master Students a valuable learning moment: By sharing insights from their fields with pupils at high school in an educational setting, our students can find identify their own misunderstandings of their subject, learn to speak in front of non-scientific audiences and peak into education as a work field they themselves might not have considered. An extraordinary commitment According to the Mekel jury, the project scored well on all the criteria (risk mitigation, inclusiveness, transparency and societal relevance). However, it was the extraordinary commitment of Amos who was fully immersed during his Master Project and the efforts of Brouwer and Dam that brought together teaching and research which is integral to academic culture that made the project stand out. About the Mekel Prize The Mekel Prize will be awarded to the most socially responsible research project or extra-scientific activity (e.g. founding of an NGO or organization, an initiative or realization of an event or other impactful project) by an employee or group of employees of TU Delft – projects that showcase in an outstanding fashion that they have been committed from the beginning to relevant moral and societal values and have been aware of and tried to mitigate as much as possible in innovative ways the risks involved in their research. The award recognizes such efforts and wants to encourage the responsible development of science and technology at TU Delft in the future.

New catheter technology promises safer and more efficient treatment of blood vessels

Each year, more than 200 million catheters are used worldwide to treat vascular diseases, including heart disease and artery stenosis. When navigating into blood vessels, friction between the catheter and the vessel wall can cause major complications. With a new innovative catheter technology, Mostafa Atalla and colleagues can change the friction from having grip to completely slippery with the flick of a switch. Their design improves the safety and efficiency of endovascular procedures. The findings have been published in IEEE. Catheter with variable friction The prototype of the new catheter features advanced friction control modules to precisely control the friction between the catheter and the vessel wall. The friction is modulated via ultrasonic vibrations, which overpressure the thin fluid layer. This innovative variable friction technology makes it possible to switch between low friction for smooth navigation through the vessel and high friction for optimal stability during the procedure. In a proof-of-concept, Atalla and his team show that the prototype significantly reduces friction, averaging 60% on rigid surfaces and 11% on soft surfaces. Experiments on animal aortic tissue confirm the promising results of this technology and its potential for medical applications. Fully assembled catheters The researchers tested the prototype during friction experiments on different tissue types. They are also investigating how the technology can be applied to other procedures, such as bowel interventions.
