This checklist provides important information regarding the colour coding system related to foreign travel advice. Video - Student safety abroad - Important note ---> We are currently working on a new video, some aspects to the video need to be updated. Be aware: It is mandatory that students attend a safety training session. Students cannot travel to ‘Orange’ colour coded countries. Check the current travel advice, travel insurance and don’t forget to register your trip in the MyTuDelft App before your departure. Please contact TU-IV@tudelft.nl should you have any further questions. Introduction If you go abroad as part of your studies at TU Delft, you are obliged to register your stay in Osistud.tudelft.nl (start and end date must be registered). Through this registration, TU Delft knows where its students are going and Student Affairs can then tailor its international policy on this. After registering and submitting your contact information in Osistud.tudelft.nl, you will be covered by TU Delft collective travel insurance for the study-related part of your trip abroad (vacation before, during and after your business trip is not covered). In the event of a calamity, the Safety and Security Department is aware of where you are, in cooperation with the embassy and the Crisis Centre of TU Travel Insurance we can help you in case of emergencies. The registration procedure is the following: Watch this video and see the checklist about registration Log in on Osistud.tudelft.nl and click on the button Stay abroad Create and submit a New Request Register in 24/7 BZ Information Service You'll receive a reply about your insurance during your stay Click Contact and Emergency information and fill in the information about your accessibility Save your contact and emergency information The TU Delft travel insurance is not a comprehensive health insurance and only covers the necessary medical costs directly related to an accident or sickness during the stay abroad. Treatments that can be postponed until return to The Netherlands will not be covered. Students always have to arrange a main or primary health insurance by themselves. This insurance provides secondary coverage. This means it will pay after the primary health insurance has paid their part of the coverage. When making a travel medical claim, the primary health insurance has to be approached first. After this you can settle the remaining medical claim with the travel insurance. The maximum period of stay abroad for trainees and students is set at 365 days. All stays with a longer duration than 365 days are not covered by the insurance. Students have to take out a travel insurance policy for the additional days by themselves. Individual Responsibility When travelling, students should behave in a way that minimizes risk for themselves. TU Delft will do all it can to exercise its duty of care, but travellers have a responsibility to use common sense both during the planning of a journey, and while travelling to international locations. Travellers should have emergency contact numbers, their policy number with them, including those needed to cancel credit cards (in the event of loss). Should a student need to sign a statement from the host institution or the internship provider relating to their stay abroad project and/or traineeship, such a statement must always be agreed upon with the faculty internship coordinator/faculty exchange coordinator before signing. The TU liability and travel insurance does not cover unlimited financial consequential loss in the event of a stay abroad for study and internship. If a student (unintentionally) makes a mistake that, for example, causes a company to come to a standstill, it could result in huge financial consequences that the TU travel insurance cannot provide. If TU travel insurance pays out, this is done in accordance with Dutch law. Every traveller is expected to have a primary health insurance in place whether that be in the Netherlands or their home country. Should a student wish to rent a vehicle, the student must take a comprehensive insurance policy with the rental, this is not covered by the TU Delft travel insurance policy. Incident Management To manage travel related risk, TU Delft safety and Security Department proactively monitors, conducts analysis for, anticipates, and provides assistance for global situations that may cause risk to TU travellers. Travel Insurance coverage TU Delft has a travel insurance which is effective for all students who make trips abroad as part of their TU Delft study programme. The insurance provides worldwide coverage. For more details about the insurance program please see the summary of the covered items: Personal Accident Medical Expenses and Assistance when unwell (Travel insurance provides secondary coverage. Every traveller is expected to have a primary health insurance in place). Travel assistance, should you lose luggage. Personal Belongings and business equipment, such as laptops. Legal assistance with a dispute or conflict Assistance, should you be detained Political unrest and evacuation, should trouble arise in your immediate area of stay. Not covered items: The insurance does not cover any claim, expense or loss caused by, or resulting either directly or indirectly from, or involving a rental vehicle.

A key solution to grid congestion

On behalf of the TU Delft PowerWeb Institute, researchers Kenneth Brunninx and Simon Tindemans are handing over a Position Paper to the Dutch Parliament on 14 November 2024, with a possible solution to the major grid capacity problems that are increasingly cropping up in the Netherlands. The Netherlands is unlikely to meet the 2030 climate targets, and one of the reasons for this is that large industry cannot switch to electricity fast enough, partly because of increasingly frequent problems around grid capacity and grid congestion. In all likelihood, those problems will actually increase this decade before they can decrease, the researchers argue. The solution offered by the TU Delft PowerWeb Institute researchers is the ‘flexible backstop’. With a flexible backstop, the current capacity of the power grid can be used more efficiently without sacrificing safety or reliability. A flexible backstop is a safety mechanism that automatically and quickly reduces the amount of electricity that an electric unit can draw from the grid (an electric charging station or a heat pump) or deliver (a PV installation). It is a small device connected or built into an electrical unit, such as a charging station or heat pump, that ‘communicates’ with the distribution network operator. In case of extreme stress on the network, the network operator sends a signal to the device to limit the amount of power. Germany recently introduced a similar system with electric charging stations. The backstop would be activated only in periods of acute congestion problems and could help prevent the last resort measure, which is cutting off electricity to users. ‘Upgrading the electricity network remains essential, but in practice it will take years. So there is a need for short-term solutions that can be integrated into long-term planning. We, the members of the TU Delft PowerWeb Institute, call on the government, network operators and regulator to explore the flexible backstop as an additional grid security measure,’ they said. The entire Paper can be read here . Kenneth Brunninx Associate Professor at the Faculty of Engineering, Governance and Management, where he uses quantitative models to evaluate energy policy and market design with the aim of reducing CO2 emissions. Simon Tindemans is Associate Professor in the Intelligent Electrical Power Grids group at Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science. His research interests include uncertainty and risk management for power grids. TU Delft PowerWeb Institute is a community of researchers who are investigating how to make renewable energy systems reliable, future proof and accessible to everyone.

25 year celebration of formal collaboration between Delft University of Technology and the University of Campinas

On 25 October 2024 we celebrated 25 years of formal collaboration between Delft University of Technology and the University of Campinas. What began as a project to exchange some students in chemical engineering has now grown to a multifaceted and broad academic collaboration which accumulated into 24 joint research projects (>20 M Euro); 16 advanced courses and 15 Doctors with a Dual Degree PhD. Patricia Osseweijer, TU Delft Ambassador Brazil explained, “We are proud to show and reflect on this special day the added value we created resulting from our joint activities. The lessons we learned demonstrate that especially continuity of funds and availability for exchanges has contributed to joint motivation and building trust which created strong relations. This is the foundation for academic creativity and high-level achievements.” The program presented showcases of Dual Degree projects; research activities and education. It discussed the future objectives and new fields of attention and agree on the next steps to maintain and strengthen the foundation of strong relations. Telma Franco, Professor UNICAMP shared that “joint education and research has substantially benefitted the students, we see that back in the jobs they landed in,” while UNICAMP’s Professor Gustavo Paim Valenca confirmed that “we are keen to extend our collaboration to more engineering disciplines to contribute jointly to global challenges” Luuk van der Wielen highlighted that “UNICAMP and TU Delft provide valuable complementary expertise as well as infrastructures to accelerate research and innovation. Especially our joint efforts in public private partnerships brings great assets” To ensure our future activities both University Boards have launched a unique joint program for international academic leadership.
