Sharing ideas
We like to keep you, our alumni, informed about the latest developments at your alma mater. Not necessarily to show you all the amazing things happening on campus – although we do enjoy doing that, too – but because sharing knowledge and exchanging ideas is so important. Knowledge that you need to keep up with your field, or that can help you progress within your company.
Your ideas that we can use to ensure our research matches day-to-day practice. This way, together we form a community of Delft engineers who are striving to create a better society. The occasional meeting is also part of that. It was great being able to welcome so many of you to the TU Delft for Life|Xperience day on 4 June.
On that day, the TU Delft Quantum Vision team presented its findings. They looked at the impact the emergence of quantum internet will have on industry and society. Because, to the best of their knowledge, there is a lot we cannot predict when it comes to brand-new technology. That's why it's vital for us to come together and think about these issues now, and we hope you will help us. In the future, too, we will continue to involve you in major issues that affect everyone – from climate change to cyber security. Incidentally, some of our scientists believe this future lies in other galaxies. As such, this issue puts the spotlight on space research in Delft.
