Impact

Impact

TU Delft as a prestigious university strives for making impact for a better society through research and education. But how can we influence in a positive way the decision making about our society? The strategic programme TU Delft | Campus The Hague and our new location serve perfectly this goal! Through our initiatives, we embrace work towards the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDG). 

The goal of our initiatives is to involve in an effective way the state-of-the-art engineering in political and decision making processes. We aim ultimately to train a certain type of engineers, not only systems thinking but also transdisciplinary. Engineers that are policy-conscious and oriented towards the application of their research and technical advice for a better society.
