Three years after winning a design competition for the Free Library on campus, TU Delft student Romeo Veldhuis (Industrial Design Engineering) has seen his vision become a reality. The ‘Biebboom’ (library tree), which was inspired by a tree with books as fruit, is now on campus.
Rosanne Hertzberger (NSC political party), a member of the House of Representatives, was updated on social safety, the freedom of the press, and the consequences of the Balanced Internationalisation Bill on 1 November on the TU Delft campus. Her wish? “The countervailing power in institutions needs to stand firm and function well.”
Aukje Hassoldt will bid farewell as Dean of Technology, Policy and Management on 7 November. As of 1 December, she will be Dean at the Rotterdam School of Management (RSM). Why is she making this change? And how does she look back at her years at TU Delft? Delta asked her.
The Supervisory Board says that it is taking its responsibility when it comes to social safety at TU Delft. This is what the members told Delta after the CNV trade union had accused them of not taking action.
The Executive Board has asked deans and directors to continue to be ‘highly aware’ of their incomes and expenses. What does this mean for faculties and services? And how concerned is the Executive Board about the Cabinet’s cutbacks? A meeting with the trade unions brought some clarity about these issues.
The building of tram 19 between Delft station and TU Delft is again delayed. The latest estimate shows that the tram will only start plying the route in the summer of 2026, once again a year later than was planned. The costs for the project will also increase by EUR 24 million. What is the problem?
TU Delft’s unions want to be part of the discussion on new measures to improve social safety right from the start. This transpired on Monday at a meeting between the unions and the Executive Board in which the contact point on social safety was discussed in detail.
An investigative article by Delta about the experiences of current and former TU Delft staff members of the lack of social safety leads to shocked reactions. Trade unions and the Student and Works Councils insist on measures that go beyond the plans published recently, and on real participation. The Minister also responds.
The victims of the lack of social safety at TU Delft get caught in a web of hierarchical uncertainty, a lack of action and unequal power relationships, reveals an investigation by Delta. This often worsens the situations of those seeking help. “TU Delft shattered me entirely.”
