Delft Researchbased Initiatives
19
The purpose of the TU Delft Research-based Initiatives (DRI’s), established in 2009, is to contribute to solving societal challenges within four themes: Health, Energy, Global Development, and Deltas, Infrastructures & Mobility. The Initiatives engage with societal and industrial partners, and highlight innovative science, engineering and design. In addition to stimulating multidisciplinary research that is in line with (inter)national agendas, the initiatives also have a strong inspirational effect on students and education.

TU Delft Institutes Within TU Delft, high-quality research capacity is clustered - either physically or virtually - into several University-wide institutes: the TU Delft Institutes. This organisational structure helps to strengthen the scientific focus and to enlarge the critical mass. In this way TU Delft aims to enhance its external profile with a view to better positioning itself to join national and international consortia and networks, and to become more attractive to top scientific talent.
In the course of 2017, one new Institute is expected to kick-off: the `Delft Design for Values Institute’, supported by the faculties of TPM, Arch, EEMCS and IDE.

Technology Transfer
23 As of 2004, Valorisation is one out of three core tasks of Dutch Universities. Valorisation concerns the creation of social and economic value based on scientific knowledge and skills. The Valorisation Centre stimulates and facilitates technology transfer and provides the necessary support for TU Delft scientists and support staff. This includes supporting researchers in attracting funding for research projects, setting-up innovative R&D initiatives and coordinating these large-scale programmes and projects, the management and commercialization of intellectual property, business development and establishing and maintaining long-term relationships with commercial partners.

Printing without ink TU Delft spin-off Inkless ready for the next step forward Printing without ink. Inkless, a TU Delft spin-off company, has the technology to do this without sacrificing print quality. This can be done by carbonising the paper using a method developed in collaboration with the TU Delft Optics Research Group. Inkless has a good control over the carbonisation process. This makes it possible to print without consumables on thin materials (such as paper), without giving in on the readability of the printed content. There are several patents on the technology.

29 Strategic University Partners and Global Engagement Initiatives for worldwide Impact Global relations are crucial for the TU Delft to be able to find innovative solutions creating impact for tackling today’s global challenges and sustainable development goals (SDG) in both the regional and international context. The TU Delft strongest global relations not only focus on linkages with worldwide academic and research institutions but also build on an extensive network with (semi) government, NGO, health sector and business partners. The basis of research and education partnerships originates from carefully established `bottom-up’ faculty relations: personal contact in researcher-to-researcher networks where curiosity and focus brings together academics on matching expertise creating synergy. Some of these TU Delft’s short and long term academic collaborations have grown into a number of joint research initiatives in both Europe and beyond. To actively further support academics in strengthening and broadening their collaborations into long-term relations as well as to encourage explicit focus on the importance of the university’s position in the world, the TU Delft has started rethinking its global alliances. As such the TU Delft will aim to strengthen its relations with a select number of worldwide strategic university partners. In addition the TU Delft will position focused research fields for scientific collaboration in Brazil, China and India. While through the Delft Global Initiative the university

wishes to boost science and technology for global development and impact in Sub Saharan Africa and South-East Asia. Many initiatives will directly or indirectly be supported by the university’s Valorisation Center; TU Delft international projects, funding and business relations units. Finally in order to increase the TU Delft impact on the global education market the university will strengthen its’ thematic online education while collaborating with front runners in innovative education as well as start offering a relevant portfolio for working professionals and lifelong learners in a global environment.

Campus & Facilities
31 An inspiring campus TU Delft is an attractive `living campus’ with excellent facilities for education, research and innovation. It’s an inviting campus where people feel inspired to work and to be creative; an environment also that contributes to the community feeling. We continue renewing the campus to provide the best facilities at all times. We want to do this in a responsible manner and are firmly committed to the principles of sustainability.
Research Infrastructure To attract outstanding scientific talent, conduct ground-breaking research and train new generations of engineers, TU Delft heavily relies upon excellent research facilities. We use our campus as a living lab which makes it possible for us and our research partners (for example TNO, Deltares and Microsoft) to test the real-life practicality of models simulated on computers. Something no other Dutch university can do on such a large scale. This is a defining element of TU Delft’s profile within the international research landscape.

History of the University Royal Academy On 8 January 1842, King Willem II founded the ‘Royal Academy for the education of civilian engineers, to serve both nation and industry, and of apprentices for trade’. The academy also educated civil servants for the colonies and revenue officers for the Dutch East Indies.
1842-1864
1864-1905
Polytechnic School An Act was passed on 2 May 1863 imposing regulations on technical education as well as bringing it under the influence of the rules applying to secondary education. Then, on 20 June 1864, a Royal Decree was issued ordering the Royal Academy in Delft to be disbanded to make way for a new ‘Polytechnic School’. The school went on to educate architects and engineers in the fields of civil engineering, ship-building, mechanical engineering and mining.
37
Institute of Technology On 22 May 1905, an Act was passed acknowledging the academic level of the Polytechnic School’s technical education and it became a Technische Hogeschool, or Institute of Technology. Queen Wilhelmina attended the Institute’s official opening ceremony on 10 July 1905. The Institute’s first Rector Magnificus was the Professor of Hydraulic Engineering ir. J. Kraus. The Institute was granted corporate rights by an Act passed on 7 June 1956.
1905-1986
1986-present
Delft University of Technology An Act which took effect on 1 September 1986 officially transformed the Institute of Technology into Delft University of Technology, abbreviated to TU Delft from the Dutch name Technische Universiteit Delft.

The City of Delft
City of Delft statistics Square kilometres: 24 Population: 101,033 CafĂŠs, bars and restaurants: 296
41 Delft is a historical city that was established in the 13th century with a rich history including the world-famous Delft Blue china, celebrated painters such as Johannes Vermeer and scientists such as the inventor of the microscope Antoni van Leeuwenhoek. Delft’s slogan is: `Delft, creating history’. The city of Delft is strategically located at the heart of the Dutch knowledge economy and is within easy reach of the TU Delft campus by bike or public transport. The close connection between the city and the University brings together the best of both worlds. Over the past two decades, Delft has rapidly transformed from an industrial centre into a hub for the Dutch knowledge economy. But Delft is also constantly looking to the future to ensure the city remains vibrant and prosperous. The university and companies based in Delft play an important role in this mission. The University and the city work more and more together in order to become a strong team in the battle for brains. Internationalisation, accessibility of the campus, estate management, attractiveness for students, researchers and tech companies to come and stay in Delft as well as community engagement are on the agenda.
