Colleagues who don’t work at the same faculty must create a research programme together, thus preventing double work.Aerospace Engineering (L&R)and Geoscience must bundle their satellite research and hand in their dean.
Also, mathematics and mechanical research is currently too scattered. Mathematics and mechanics departments from different faculties must cooperate more closely. Material Sciences & Technology (TNW) and Design, Engineering and Production (OCP) received an assignment to jointly create a research proposal in the field of ‘stromingsleer’ (flow engineering) . The Systems and Control Engineering of Applied Science and Information Technology and Systems are the only groups which must move to another building. They will move to the Design, Engineering and Production building and thus combine their mechatronics programme.
In this way the TU Executive Board wants to use their money for research more efficiently. The funds left over after research groups have joined together will be used to design new research plans. Whenever these plans don’t work out, these groups lose part of their budget.
The department of Material Sciences(TNW) is partly joining a new faculty, OCP. Only polymer materials will remain at TNW. TNW’s Material Science staff will form a spearhead group together with L&R and OCP’s Material Sciences staff. Such spearheads will be coordinated by a scientific director and organised in more or less the same way as the existing DIOCS (Delft Interfaculty Research Centre). Many new spearheads coincide with existing DIOCS. TU Chairman Van Luijk doubts whether another round of DIOC proposals is necessary after this portfolio discussion. “Good proposals for new spearheads are always welcome,” he says.
