MobilityLast week TU Delft and dozens of other regional employers signed a covenant ‘Accessible Haaglanden’. The goal of this agreement is to have reduced the number of kilometers driven in traffic jams by six percent by 2012.
Hans Krul, secretary of the TU Delft’s Executive Board, says the agreement is “definitely not informal.” Krul: “As an employer, we must create a mobility policy, or in any case, make the policy we now have in place more recognizable.”

Last month around 50 students from TU Delft’s recycling technology section (Civil Engineering & Geosciences) headed to Wroclaw (Poland), Helsinki and Exeter, with 18 of the students having received scholarships from the Erasmus Mundus Minerals and Environmental Programme, which is an EU scholarship program for talented students. Participants in this joint-master program involving six universities will follow courses at the various partner universities. The universities of Aachen and Miskolc are also involved in the program.
,Aeroplane Hall
Last week the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering officially unveiled the newly renovated Delft Aerospace Structures & Materials Laboratory (DASML), known affectionately as ‘The Aeroplane Hall’. The DASML has been the birthplace of countless innovations in the field of aerospace engineering, the most well-known of which is a composite material called ‘Glare’. The newly-renovated laboratory will ensure that the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering is even better equipped to develop cutting-edge technologies. Examples of innovations developed at the DASML include a 350-ton fatigue bench and a precision milling machine.
