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

Signing Ceremony of Joint Establishment of International Institute of Space, Harbin University of Technology and Delft University of Technology, Beijing 6 June 2017

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.
