Purple Friday 2024

On Purple Friday, several TU Delft student associations organise activities on campus to increase visibility and acceptance of the LGBTQIA+ community.

We would like to emphasise that all activities are free to both students and staff, because besides the fact that you might attend the activities at your own faculty, the other student associations will also enjoy getting to know students and staff from other faculties.

So if you have the time, be sure to check out the activities at one of the other faculties on campus!

We have made a list with all the information from the different study associations and faculties and how they are implementing Purple Friday 2024.

• EWI - Faculty Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science:
  Electrotechnische Vereeniging (ETV) & W.I.S.V. 'Christiaan Huygens' (CH)

At the Elektrotechnische Vereniging (ETV), the D&I committee is active in the boardroom with low-key activities such as nail painting and interactive moments, with a special focus on conversations about diversity and inclusion. W.I.S.V. ‘Christiaan Huygens’ (CH) is also participating with similar initiatives. Both associations will be present in the main hall to hand out flyers and create awareness.

There will also be an interactive lunch lecture organised by Outsite. This will take place in the EEMCS lecture Hall Boole between 12:45 and 13:30 and everyone is welcome.
