percent increase from the previous year, which is more than any other Dutch university.

Growth at TU Delft has especially resulted from new enrollments: In 2007 the number of first-year students increased by 15 percent.
University professor
TU Delft’s Professor of Quantum Transport Leo Kouwenhoven has been appointed a University Professor. He follows in the footsteps of Hans Mooij and Cees Dekker to become the third University Professor at TU Delft. Only professors with an exceptional record of service, who function as a standard bearer for the university, who are inspiring leaders and who are responsible for raising TU Delft’s profile in society at large qualify for this position. As Professor of Quantum Transport, Prof. Leo Kouwenhoven (44) is part of the Kavli Institute of Nanoscience at TU Delft. He leads international research in the field of the electronic properties of nanostructures. In 2007, he was awarded the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research’s Spinoza Prize, often referred to as the Dutch Nobel Prize. Kouwenhoven studied applied sciences at TU Delft, obtaining his doctorate with distinction in 1992. In 1999, he was offered a professorship at Harvard, but turned the offer down in favor of a professorship at TU Delft.
Motiv course
A new course on the elements of religious life is starting. The course focuses on a search for the meaning of different religions. How do people experience their beliefs? Can a common world culture be created from the elements of different religions? The course consists of five meetings, on March 13 and 27, and on April 3, 10 and 17. Each meeting starts at 20:00 at Voorstraat 60 in Delft. A reader is available. More information on the website.
