Delft Design & Engineering Award Which scientist has created the most innovative and applicable design in TU Delft and will thus become the winner of the 2009 Delft Design & Engineering Award? Rector Magnificus Jacob Fokkema invites you personally to participate in this competition. <a href="http://www.tudelft.nl/live/pagina.jsp?id=95f1bdcf-ecd7-4124-9f26-928003841651&lang=en">Check the invitation of Rector Magnificus Jacob Fokkema</a>. The Delft Design & Engineering Award rewards the best design of TU Delft with a validation bonus of €25,000. The second and third prizes are respectively €15,000 and €7,500. All the scientists (including PhDs) associated with TU Delft may participate in this competition by submitting a design – by 14 August 2009 – to the Valorisation Centre. This competition is intended for scientists; students are excluded from participating. A design may vary from a product, process, system or part of these. The application form and terms and conditions are available at: <a href="http://www.tudelft.nl/ddea">www.tudelft.nl/ddea</a> All the submitted designs will be judged by a committee of experts from the Design Platform. This committee will decide which scientists will go forward to the semi-final, which will take place on 5 November 2009, during the Design Seminar ‘Use my brain’, when the candidates will present their design to an expert jury consisting of representatives from industry and government, and appointed by all the faculties. This jury will select the scientists who will compete later that day for the title of ‘Best TU Delft Design 2009’ and will decide the final winner.  The Delft Design & Engineering Award is one of the projects started by the Executive Board to highlight the design and engineering disciplines. Design and engineering are of crucial importance to TU Delft and form the link between pure science and the most significant innovations. The design and engineering disciplines increase the innovative capacity of TU Delft and with that of the Netherlands as a whole. The Delft Design & Engineering Award is organised by the TU Delft Valorisation Centre and YES!Delft. To enter the competition, see the information at <a href="http://www.tudelft.nl/ddea">http://www.tudelft.nl/ddea</a> or put your questions via <a href="mailto:ddea@tudelft.nl">ddea@tudelft.nl</a>. 2009-06-11T13:33:26+02:00 Rector Magnificus Jacob Fokkema invites you personally to participate in this competition.

For scientific researchers, we offer training sessions to help them learn how to gain recognition for their studies. Transparency, openness, dialogue, stakeholder networks, seeking common ground are all options perfectly suited to a university firmly planted within the wider community. Communication is more important than ever before in modern research efforts. The veteran scientific communications advisors at TU Delft, with the cooperation of the Institute for Technology and Communication (TPM), the Science Education & Communication section (AS) and the Career Development Centre have compiled a course packet focusing on popularising, forming opinions and presenting one’s research findings to all sorts of target groups, including the media. Our excellent research and educational programme distinguishes us from other universities domestically and abroad. Often, however, we cannot display this excellence in a sufficiently clear and effective manner. You can find more information at: "<A href="http://www.tudelft.nl/live/pagina.jsp?id=119351ff-ff49-46b8-94be-4e0bc20b7aea&lang=nl">Mediatrainingen</A>" (only in Dutch) 2009-05-27T08:20:08+02:00 SCOPE is a package designed for TU Delft employees, consisting of training programmes and other aspects to hone expertise.

The Global Forum's vision is of a world in which the potential of research and innovation is fully utilized to address the health problems of the poor. Innovation is defined as the creation, development and implementation of a new product, process or service, with the aim of improving efficiency, effectiveness or competitive advantage. Research for health therefore goes far beyond medicine and biology, to include sectors such as economics, environment, politics, sociology and others. Innovating for the health of all involves both social and technological innovation. Within the broad range of the theme, essays are invited from young professionals working in or interested in the wide spectrum of research for health and health equity.<A href="http://www.globalforumhealth.org/Site/005__Get%20involved/009__Essay%20Competition/005__Essay%20competition.php">Read more about this competition</A> 2009-04-09T12:03:05+02:00 The Global Forum for Health Research and The Lancet are sponsoring their fourth joint essay competition.

Within the TU Delft organization there is an urgent need for of a generic information system on the progress of phd's. A variety of local systems already exists but these are not compatible (different source-data) or used properly. For the TU Delft this is important because of the need for univocal management information. For departments and faculties this supports adequate supervision. For the PhD it is of use because it helps in the project planning of their phd and the communication on this with the promoter/supervisor. Finally it also supports the office of the beadle with the capacity planning of the defenses. For more information about the TU Delft Doctorate Progress Monitoring System, you can contact: Ingrid Emmerik (<A href="mailto:I.M.J.M.Emmerik@tudelft.nl">I.M.J.M.Emmerik@tudelft.nl</A>) Jordi Kerkum - 3ME (<A href="mailto:J.P.Kerkum@tudelft.nl">J.P.Kerkum@tudelft.nl</A>) Dian Verbunt (<A href="mailto:D.W.A.M.Verbunt@tudelft.nl">D.W.A.M.Verbunt@tudelft.nl</A>) 2009-03-23T15:25:21+01:00 Wednesday March 25th 2009 the TU Delft Doctorate Progress Monitoring System will be launched.

Info on De Undutchables 8. TU Delft PhD community portal __________________________________________________________________ 1. Lecture in English on "Vermeer's legacy to Delft" - 17 December 2008 In collaboration with Studium Generale, PROMOOD organises a monthly series of lectures and debates primarily intended for MSc and PhD students. We will cover academic as well as cultural topics, and there will also be the opportunity to socialise over a drink and a snack. The upcoming talk is on the topic "Vermeer's legacy to Delft" given by Mr.Koos de Wilt. Koos de Wilt studied law and history of art. He has worked in law and publicity, and having founded several publishing companies and having written a number of books, he now makes films and publishes in newspapers and periodicals. He is currently the director of the Vermeer Centre in Delft. Date: Wednesday, 17 December 2008 Time: 17:30 Hrs Venue: Cultural Centre, Mekelweg 10, Delft Entrance fee: Free Johannes Vermeer is one of the best known artists from the Dutch Golden Age. His name is inextricably linked with Delft, the city in which he was born in 1632 and where he lived and worked all his life. His paintings found their way all over the world; only seven of his works still remain in Dutch museums. Famed for his mastery of light, there is more to Vermeer than meets the eye. As a true Delftenaar he made full use of the technology available to him in the form of the camera obscura or so called 'goggle box'. Fellow Delftenaar Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was a friend of Vermeer's and had a very large influence on him through his knowledge on lenses and their use in this technique. Through the eyes of Vermeer we see an interesting and beautiful picture of the life and history of the city in which we live and study, and follow in his footsteps when we use technology in our study of the world around us. [PROMOOD & SG, Delft] ___________________________________________________________________ 2. Wanted: Faculty representatives. The Board of PromooD is looking for PhD-candidates who would like to represent their faculty/department and keep in touch with PromooD about the latest developments. It is important for us to stay informed about what is going on at your faculty and the departments. For example, are there any structural problems with supervision or funding, what is the policy on taking (external) courses and acquiring equipment, and how is the support among fellow PhD-candidates? The more info we have, the better we will be able to act in your interests and bring forward your wishes to those responsible for PhD-policy. As a Faculty represenative you keep the PromooD-board up-to-date about PhD-related developments at your faculty or department by communicating regurlarly with the board and attending formal board meetings and informal meetings (PhD cafe) every once in a while. If you're interested or would like more info, please contact Gwen van Eijk: 86183 or g.vaneijk@tudelft.nl. [PROMOOD] ___________________________________________________________________ 3.

13 May 2008, the Faculty of Architecture of the Technical University of Delft was reduced to ashes. The Dutch architectural community was in a shock. Nevertheless, this community soon joined forces to set to work again. After all, the loss of the faculty building also offers new opportunities. That is why the Faculty decided to organize an international open ideas competition. The entrants are asked to formulate, both in text and images, a vision on the two competition themes: new concepts and dynamics of city and campus. This vision should be presented in a sketch design for a new Bouwkunde on the existing site, or on a well-argued, alternative site.
