MyAV范

The TU Delft group, which included board members and deans from five faculties at the university, visited MyAV范鈥檚 Bloomsbury and East campuses.

TU Delft is the oldest and largest technical university in the Netherlands. For several years, MyAV范 and TU Delft have collaborated in areas of shared expertise, predominantly in the fields of engineering and architecture, to solve urgent societal challenges.

Academics in MyAV范 Engineering, including Professors Tiziana Rossetto (Vice-Dean International), Peter Munro (Vice-Dean Research), Liz Jones (Vice-Dean Education) and Rob Thompson (Vice-Dean Enterprise), welcomed the group to discuss growing research collaborations and opportunities for student mobility between the Faculty and TU Delft.

Professor Tiziana Rossetto (Vice-Dean International, MyAV范 Engineering) said: 鈥淎t MyAV范, we are proud to be working with TU to co-create technological solutions to complex global challenges. The visit from my colleagues at MyAV范 Delft sparked many rich discussions, and I look forward to further enhancing our research and education connections.鈥�

The delegation also visited MyAV范 at Here East where they were given a tour, led by Professor Wendel Sebastian (MyAV范 Engineering), of the engineering science and built environment facilities housed there. They were then welcomed to MyAV范 East by Professor Paola Lettieri, Pro-Provost (MyAV范 East), and Helen Fisher (Director of Operations, MyAV范 East).聽

In June 2023, TU Delft its intent to operate new educational, research and innovation activities in Rotterdam. Inspired by the opening of MyAV范's new university campus at East Bank, the delegation sought insights into MyAV范鈥檚 approach to civic engagement, interdisciplinary study and cross-disciplinary research.

The TU Delft delegation consisted of Prof.ir. Dick van Gameren (Dean, Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment); Lucas van Vliet (Dean of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Sciences); Aukje Hassoldt (Dean, Faculty of Technology, Policy and Management); Stefan Aarninkhof (Dean, Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences); Fred van Keulen (Dean, Faculty of Mechnical Engineering); Carola de Vree (Director of Communications); Han Derkx (Programme Director); and Irene Haslinger (Director of TU Delft Library).

Professor Lucas van Vliet said: 鈥淭U Delft is developing a new campus in Rotterdam around emerging fields in transition engineering with a strong ambition in civic engagement. MyAV范鈥檚 lesson-learned and the inspirational discussions will help us in further defining our plans. Thank you to our colleagues at MyAV范 for the valuable insights.鈥�

MyAV范 and TU Delft

In December 2023, The Bartlett, MyAV范鈥檚 Faculty of the Built Environment, signed a partnership agreement with TU Delft Faculty of Architecture & the Built Environment to advance research and education in the areas of circular cities, circular built environment and circular economy.

Stemming from this agreement, In March 2024, academics from TU Delft鈥檚 Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment attended a series of workshops with researchers from The Bartlett, MyAV范's Faculty of the Built Environment, focusing on circular urban systems.

The visit concluded with a panel discussion and networking reception, hosted in partnership between MyAV范 Global Engagement, MyAV范 Circularity Hub, and the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in London, on the theme of circularity with representatives from academia, industry and policy in the UK and the Netherlands.

Between 2019 and 2023, MyAV范 produced 190 collaborative publications with TU Delft, and during Horizon 2020, MyAV范 academics collaborated on 18 Horizon projects with TU Delft counterparts.
