On 12 November 2024 the Pink Closet will head to the Main Hall of the TU Delft Library for the first time! The Pink Closet will take its place at the Nook, where it will feature as part of the Studium Generale programme on loneliness. More information on events that coincide with and incorporate the Pink Closet at TU Delft Library will soon be available on the website of Studium Generale . Groene ammoniak blijft uitdaging, maar onderzoekers zetten belangrijke stappen vooruit De productie van ammoniak, essentieel voor kunstmestproductie, is verantwoordelijk voor bijna 1,5% van de wereldwijde CO₂-uitstoot. Dit moet groener, en daarom zijn onderzoekers al jaren op zoek naar duurzame alternatieven. "Measuring brain activity through the skull with ultrasound opens new doors" PhD Candidate Rick Waasdorp is looking for ways to correct the distortion caused by the skull when using Ultrasound technology. ‘’My goal is to develop an adaptive method for skull corrections that automatically measures the skull of new patients.’’ NWO financiering voor flexibele stroomvraag van elektrisch gedreven industrie NWO financiert twee projecten waarin onderzoek gaat plaatsvinden hoe de stroomvraag van de industrie flexibel gemaakt kan worden. Daarmee sluit het beter aan op het toekomstige energieaanbod. Een van de consortiumprojecten: ‘DEFLAME’ wordt geleid door Machteld van den Broek van de TU Delft. 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 Funding for important educational efforts and research are being withdrawn.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.

Cormac en zijn collega's maken momenteel een inventarisatie van de collectie erfgoedobjecten van de faculteit met als doel deze te conserveren en een aantal te presenteren op de hele faculteit. De schietstoel maakt deel uit van de collectie. TU Delft innovaties op een postzegel PostNL heeft ter gelegenheid van de Dag van de Postzegel een postzegelvel uitgebracht met twee innovatieve en duurzame vervoermiddelen ontwikkeld aan de TU Delft. Op de postzegels staan naast Koning Willem-Alexander, een wind voortgedreven vrachtschip en de Flying-V, een energiezuinig vliegtuigontwerp voor de lange afstanden. Universitair docent Windenergie Dries Allaerts overleden Tot ons grote verdriet moeten wij je vertellen dat onze collega Dries Allaerts op 10 oktober is overleden.
