Delft footprint
For the 165th anniversary of the founding of TU Delft, the Delft Technical Museum has organized an exhibition on the theme of Sustainable Development, entitled ‘A Delft Footprint in Africa’. The exhibition offers a broad look at projects TU Delft is conducting in Africa and elsewhere in the world. The projects demonstrate smart solutions for local African problems and potential solutions for systemic problems faced in Africa and elsewhere. The exhibits show that sustainable solutions are not always about finding the latest technological tools, but more about achieving the right embedding of the technology in the local culture and the intensive and inspiring cooperation with the local population. At the same time, the exhibition invites active participation in envisioning possible solutions for a specific problem. The exhibition is an excellent opportunity for young people to become familiar with sustainability and local conditions in other countries. The exhibition is open Tuesday to Saturday until 31 December 2007.
Cheap chairs
TU Delft is once again offering students and staff the chance to buy a special ergonomic office chair at a discount price. Through this offer, the Executive Board hopes to improve everyone’s awareness of how to prevent complaints related to screen work, like RSI. The chairs, which are intended for home use, have been specially selected for their combination of ergonomic features, low price and durability – with a choice from three different models

Hydrogen racing
Team members are wanted for Forze, Formula Zero Team Delft, which will compete in the 2008 Formula Zero student race, the world’s first ever hydrogen racing competition. Forze will compete against several top-universities from London, Paris, Detroit and Germany. The competition consists of six international races. Do you want to be involved in the world’s first hydrogen racing team and work with sustainable future technology? Both technical and non-technical aspects play a major role in the team.
Victory for Arnoud Greidanus, Alwin Snijders, Marshall Godschalk, Tom van den Broek and Peter Wiersum. De rowers of Proteus-Eretes won the gold metal at the World Championships in Munich, Germany. It was a remarkable win. After 500 meters, the Delft team trailed the teams from Italy and Germany, but soon thereafter took the lead and finished the two-kilometer race in first place.
Discount bikes
First-year students at the TU Eindhoven are being offered new bikes at discount prices. Provided that the students live in Eindhoven, the new students can buy a bike for only 140 euro. The white bikes, which include the logo of the TU Eindhoven, are valued at 600 euro in the shops. The plan was the initiative of the student committee of the university executive board. Sponsors of the program include the university, the city council and the bike company Batavus.
