TU Delft wants to scout for talent via the internetTU Delft has reserved twelve million guilders for the upcoming five years for talent scouting via the internet.
Professor Cor van Kruijsdijk, of the faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences, took the initiative for a project in which TU Delft plans to start a web community for young researchers from abroad. To attract people to this web community, they are offered access to the TU Delft library, to some computer facilities and to laboratory facilities. In order to receive the full amount of funds from the executive board, Van Kruisdijk’s website must get ten thousand hits per month. In five years TU Delft hopes to have attracted forty percent of their researchers through this web community.
Mecanoo to redesign TU campus
The architect of TU Delft’s library, Francine Houben, of Mecanoo, will make a new urban development plan for the TU campus, in close co-operation with ING real estate. The executive board chose their plan from the five competing presentations. Houben wants to get rid of the cars and parking places on the Mekelweg, replacing them with pavilions that could be used for restaurants and exhibitions. “I would like people to come out of their own buildings and to get in contact with researchers from other faculties,” Houben says. She stresses that her ideas have not become the official plans yet. On May 12th she will discuss her plans with the executive board, the works council and the student council. “For me, doing this project would be a dream come true. When I was a student at TU Delft my hands were itching to change things on the campus.”
