Delft Research Centres 

The university has identified thirteen multidisciplinary primary research themes, the Delft Research Centres (DRCs).

"If demands of the past have brought us this far, where will the demands of the future take us..?"

A question straight from the heart of TU Delft. The technological demands arising from the challenges facing society are becoming ever more complex. Protecting the land from the water, for example, is not simply a question of building dikes. Other factors have to be considered, including the minimum acceptable human and capital risks, climate change and changing societal needs. These complex problems need to be studied from a multidisciplinary perspective if we are to find robust and sustainable solutions.

The thirteen Delft Research Centres provide integrated solutions for these multidisciplinary problems by bundling excellent research. In this way, the knowledge and expertise built up over the years on thirteen important research themes is made available to society, industry and policy.
