Labs

Explore our labs at the Multi-Actor Systems department at the Faculty of Technology, Policy and Management, Delft University of Technology. We offer facilities where we conduct research on complex systems involving multiple stakeholders. Learn more about our laboratories and how they contribute to innovative research and solutions for societal challenges.

Gamelab

At the Gamelab we develop simulation games, simulations, and game systems with a research objective. The development of these instruments is scientifically driven. Together with Delft researchers, PhD candidates and students, often combined with external partners, the Gamelab develops mature prototypes that can both be analog and digital games and have goals like learning, policy building, design or data-gathering.

HIPPO Lab

To make a real impact, AI techniques must consider all stakeholders, and that includes minimizing conflict and protecting vulnerable groups. It’s why the HIPPO Lab is developing next generation, nature-inspired and hyper-heuristic optimisation methods – the methods that can capture conflicts across multiple sectors, regions and generations. We will be using AI-based decision support for addressing complex real-world problems such as climate change mitigation and adaptation.

AI Futures Lab

AI is increasingly widespread, but poses a challenge for designers: it is complex, entangled, plural and indeterminate, and it changes over time. Harms that can result from poorly designed AI systems are both subtle and large scale, and socio-legal contexts evolve in response to the actions of computational systems. New understandings of rights and justice and flexible responses to a changing world are needed, which at the same time support human agency, human rights, wellbeing and justice.

Delta Futures lab

The Delta Futures lab is a interfaculty and multidisciplinary network for MSc-students and staff with the ambition to become interdisciplinary leaders in spatial design, engineering and governance of deltas.

Cybersecurity Lab

Within TU Delft’s Faculty of Technology, Policy and Management, we manage a close-knit security and privacy team of more than 20 people from all over the world. The team has an empirical focus: we study the causal forces that shape security problems in the real world, as well as measure the effects of interventions. For this, we collaborate closely with industry and governments, creating visible impact with our results.

Participatory Systems Lab

Our current society is deeply networked at all levels, in formal and informal contexts, from personal endeavours and local communities to businesses and governmental institutions. Participation in such a profoundly networked society is key to individual and collective human well-being.

Centre for Urban Science & Policy Lab

The Centre for Urban Science & Policy Lab is a transdisciplinary research group working to advance urban research, planning and policy in a way that strives for just and equitable outcomes for communities. We use a mix of computational spatial science and qualitative participatory methods to investigate how social, economic, environmental and political processes shape cities. Our goal is to develop a body of computational approaches and curate evidence that facilitates an integrated systems-based approach for urban planning.

The Center for Social Complexity of Climate Change

The solutions to climate change problems are contingent on how society and economy are organized and how they evolve. SC3 research center focuses on the driving forces, the agents of change: the behavior of households and businesses.
