The Delft University of Technology (DUT) in the Netherlands is a state university which conducts cutting edge research and provides first class education, contributing to radical new scientific insights and technological breakthroughs in the fields of energy, water, materials, transport, building, industrial production and industrial design driven by sustainability and safety. DUT’s research portfolio is clustered around thirteen interdisciplinary technological themes examples of which are Sustainable Energy, Sustainable urban areas, Information and Communication Technology, Nanotechnology and Water. Each year, the University’s cumulative research results in an average of 200 PhD dissertations, and over 5,000 publications in scientific journals. Research and education are interrelated. Two faculties of the DUT will be participating in the project.

Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering (IDE)
As the first faculty of Industrial Design Engineering (IDE) in the Netherlands and one of the oldest in the world, it has a leading role in the development of the discipline. Over 3400 Industrial Design engineers graduated from the faculty since it was founded as an independent faculty of the Delft University of Technology in 1969.

Faculty of Architecture
The Faculty of Architecture at Delft University of Technology is recognized as one of the most dynamic and innovative schools of architecture in Europe. It is also one of Europe’s largest and most internationally oriented schools to provide architectural education and research. Its research and education programs cover a wide variety of design aspects, technology, planning, and management of the built environment. Within the faculty of Architecture, the departments Building Technology / Product Development and Urbanism / Sustainable Design, are dealing with technical complexity, as well as psycho/social complexity of the build environment. Sustainability implies as well technical, economical as psycho/social aspects.
