Bert van Wee bij NPO1 Radio 1 over de leeftijd van het Nederlandse wagenpark

Nederland heeft het oudste wagenpark van West-Europa. Dat komt o.a. omdat nieuwe auto's erg duur zijn in de aanschaf. Daarnaast speelt ook het gebruik van de auto mee zegt Bert van Wee. 'Auto's gaan minder hard mee als er hard mee wordt gereden, zoals in Duitsland. Nederlanders zijn ook minder statusgevoelig en blijven daarom langer doorrijden in hun auto.'

We are excited to contribute to the collective efforts of eucen in the pursuit of excellence in continued education, “ said Director of the Extension School for Continuing Education, Willem van Valkenburg. “ We look forward to playing an increasingly significant role in shaping the future of lifelong learning. Contributing to a prestigious network Having celebrated 10 years of the Extension School this year, and 10 years of delivering continuing education to professionals worldwide, we look forward to actively contributing to the exchange of ideas and best practices. We are recognised as leaders in Lifelong Learning in Europe which was underscored more recently by Prof. Luc Sels, Rector of KU Leuven who commended our efforts as “the best example of what we could aim for on the European continent” during his keynote address at the European Lifelong Learning Conference in Brussels. Championing Openness in Education Being part of EUCEN provides yet another valuable platform for one of our key principles: openness. Openness is at the very core of what we do, as we strive to make our education accessible to as many people as possible worldwide. We are also committed to sharing educational resources, course design insights and pedagogical methodologies with other universities and educational institutions. Innovating Lifelong Learning Design Our very own learning developer, Tracey-Lee Davis will be leading a panel session during EUCEN’s Global Lifelong Learning Week on Redefining Design and Delivery for Lifelong Learners. She will explore the ways in which lifelong learning has to adapt to meet the diverse needs of all learners, considering their unique circumstances, needs, means and responsibilities. Influencing European Education Policy We look forward to actively participating in European Education and Lifelong Learning policymaking, and exploring how we can play a role in decision-making in Brussels. This involvement gives us direct insights into new developments, enabling us to make informed decisions that keep us adaptable to the evolving skill requirements of individuals and organisations across Europe and beyond.

2024 Grantees introduction

We are happy to announce that 5 projects have been awarded the 2024 Indian Institute of Technology Delhi & TU Delft Collaborative Research Call seed funding. These grants foster scientific and technological cooperation between researchers at our two institutions and thus our strategic partnership. The TU Delft & IIT Delhi call funds the initial phase of joint international research collaborations with clear expectations that the researchers will submit a follow-up research proposal that continues the research started and consolidates the research partnership. Thus far in 2022 and 2023 grants projects funded in the areas of decarbonization, lunar rovers, climate policy models, battery technology, green hydrogen, water pollution & purification, materials science and organic agriculture. The 2024 grantees are: Climate Adaptation Digital Twin Dr. Ranjith Kuttantharappel Soman ( TU Delft) & Dr. Ann Francis (IIT Delhi) The project aims to develop and test digital twins—virtual models of buildings—that adapt dynamically to climate changes to plan for resilient energy efficient built environment. By integrating real-time data and predictive models on how climate impacts buildings, these digital twins will serve as living labs, allowing for continuous testing and refinement of strategies to improve building resilience and sustainability. It merges digital twins technology with practical applications such as building control, promising significant advancements in the design and operation of climate-responsive buildings. Insights into Metal Halide Perovskites Dr. ir. Tom J. Savenije (TU Delft) & Dr. Dibyajyoti Ghosh (IIT Delhi) Thanks to their excellent photophysics, metal halide perovskites are promising semiconductors for application as absorber layers in optoelectronics, including solar cells. However, these materials degrade due to ion motion under operating conditions. We will combine experimental and computational techniques to study the relationship between structure and ionic motion in MHPs in order to improve stability. Study on Bioresorbable Stent Dr. Nikolina Šoštarić (TU Delft) & Dr. Sachin Kumar (IIT Delhi) Controlling surface properties of stent materials used in atherosclerosis treatment is essential for reducing blood cell adhesion to the stent and, therefore, preventing potentially life-threatening thrombosis. In the TU Delft part of this project, we will employ molecular dynamics simulations to gain insight into the dynamic behavior of blood proteins when in contact with stent materials of different physicochemical properties. This advancement of fundamental understanding of stent-blood proteins interactions at a molecular level will aid in the future rational design of stent materials. Research on Electric Vehicle Transition Prof. Lóránt Antal Tavasszy (TU Delft) & Dr. Lokesh Kalahasthi (IIT Delhi) Achieving emission-free urban freight transport is an important step to enhance the quality of life in cities. The key objective of the project is to design data-driven modelling approaches to facilitate the efficient transition to electric vehicles for freight transport. Comparative studies will be done for cities in India and The Netherlands on demand and typology for electric trucks, including the creation of appropriate charging infrastructures. Image produced with Bing image creator Design Education Dr. Sam Franklin (TU Delft) & Dr. Saurabh Tewari (IIT Delhi) The project will examine the historical evolution of sustainable design education at IITD and TUD, identifying commonalities, differences, and specific connections (e.g. personnel, key texts, conferences and events) between the two institutions and regions. This will contribute to a better understanding of the current concept of sustainability in design and technology, as well as uncover problems, possibilities, and roads not taken for education.

Existential Tuesday: Is Society Rigged Against You?

Existential Tuesday: Is Society Rigged Against You? 04 juni 2024 12:45 t/m 13:30 - Locatie: TU Delft Library, The Nook | Zet in mijn agenda There are some major economic issues facing the current generation that provide an uncomfortable likelihood: times are going to be tougher than they were. To name a few issues: housing is a huge problem. Huge. There’s also student loan debts. Inflation and cost of living. Technological unemployment. Climate change in general. You name it. Put together, all of this could create a sense of existential insecurity, and the feeling that the times are against you. But are these challenges really unique to this generation? Or are these the infamous “first world problems” and is there nothing to complain about? What about the intersection of challenges for people of different genders, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and health than the norm? Will you have to pay for the “sins of the fathers,” by working harder for less returns? Do you believe in the sanctity of the social contract, in a community that cares for each others’ needs, or do you think we’re headed for more of a free for all? Is it fair to blame society or the government for today’s economic reality? In short, is society rigged against you? Today’s chat will center around what I’ll call existential economics. Ponder your economic future and the obstacles you might face, in comparison to previous and future generations. Existential Tuesdays Existential Tuesdays are small weekly lunch discussions in the Nook of the TUD Library. Practice your critical thinking skills, learn to see the world from different perspectives, and hang out with your fellow deep thinkers in Delft. Interested in other events in the Nook? Sign up for the newsletter to find out what else we’re planning. Organised by: Studium Generale You can reach the organizers with questions at SG@tudelft.nl .
