A collaborative approach to digital research data training

An interactive take on learning Operations Research

Operations Research takes real-world problems, approximates them with a mathematical model, and then uses an algorithm to find good or even optimal solutions – given certain constraints. Straightforward as this may sound, some students struggle with making the translation from real-life to an abstract set of equations and the other way around.

Publication Culture

At the Forefront of Open Education

Building and supporting a community around open science

Open Science Community initiative Rbanism wraps up the year with a community event

Students help bring open educational resources to life

The Open Interactive Textbooks project was launched in 2022 as a follow-up to the project OLMO (Open Leermaterialen in een Multidisciplinaire Opleiding) to create a collection of Open Educational Resources (OER) for the nanobiology bachelor’s programme, a joint-degree programme offered by TU Delft and Erasmus University Rotterdam. This collaboration between the nanobiology programme and the TU Delft Library involved teachers and students working together to create an integrated set of open textbooks. Open Interactive Textbooks is now planned to become a publishing service that is available to all teaching staff at TU Delft.

Storytelling can make a better world

Challenges of collecting raindrops and data in Africa

Africa will be hit hard by climate change. Many adaptation measures, such as crop insurance, flood early warnings, and reservoir management, depend on dense networks of weather observations. Over the past ten years, the Trans-African Hydro-Meteorological Observatory (TAHMO) has been building a network of in situ weather observations, of which most are hosted by secondary schools.
