Writers for Climate Science
The Delft Climate Institute's Call for Climate Ideas Programme offers financial assistance to students and members of staff at TU Delft to realise ideas for climate-related research or climate-related study activities.
We are open to all kinds of ideas, large and small, that are related to the Delft Climate Institute’s objective and where the development of the idea leads to a tangible result (event, video presentation, poster presentation, prototype, graduation project, conference paper, etc.)
