Alex Nedelcu
columnist
Alex Nedelcu is an international double master’s student in Industrial Ecology and Sustainable Energy Technology. He is also a student representative in the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering’s Board of Studies, where he focuses on communication and sustainability issues.
Although he still thinks there are plenty of good reasons for humanity to go to space, columnist Alex Nedelcu views his childhood dream of contributing to these endeavours differently: we need to save our own planet first.
Alex Nedelcu believes that he’s lucky to live in a city like Delft. However, he sees that it’s not an option for every TU Delft student. It seems to him that very few new housing developments are actually geared towards students.
It is not true that there is no money for public institutions and education, writes Alex Nedelcu. “Why is austerity in these sectors seen as gospel and is not to be challenged?”
To be a member of the TU Delft community should not mean watching from the sidelines, but involve actual participation. That’s not the case now, writes columnist Alex Nedelcu. ‘Decisions that affect us will be made – with or without us’.
The dream of innovation is simply not enough to take us where we need to be in fighting climate change. Innovation can even hinder progress, writes columnist Alex Nedelcu.
It is concerning that TU Delft hires so many consultants to solve its problems, writes Delta’s new student columnist Alex Nedelcu in his first piece. It hinders us from actually solving problems, he argues.
