You can find more detailed information about our activities on the rest of the site. On this page, we will describe how Delft Cluster works and how you can participate. If you decide to participate in Delft Cluster, you will become a partner in a network totalling more than 100 companies, bodies, and organisations. You can find an overview of the participants here.

Joint knowledge development

The projects are established with a research team that comprises representatives from trade and industry, governments, and the sciences. Together, we organise the processes needed to achieve a useable result:

We identify the social challenges for safe, viable, and sustainable living and working in the delta
We analyse the interests, and actively search for interested parties so that they are able to participat
We identify the knowledge needed to give shape to the challenges
We work together with the relevant stakeholders, incorporating the latest insights from fundamental scientific research
We implement the newly-acquired practical knowledge in applications used in the field.

Want to join in?
If you would like to participate in Delft Cluster, or if you would like to discuss the possibilities, then please contact us.

You can of course also contact the leader of a specific project. You will find the project leaders on the projects page.

Jointly making knowledge available

There are sufficient innovations at the project level, but the challenge is ensure that any new knowledge is applied as quickly and as extensively as possible. We use old tried-and-tested methods to do so, buy also explore new channels as well. Existing channels that have already proved their value include symposia, courses, publication in technical journals, software, organisations such as COB and TAW, and websites such as www.waterland.net and www.geonet.nl.

What can you do?

Each research project involves those working in the field. Participation in a practical project can take place in various ways. You can be involved in a project in the role of principal, consultant or construction company, or you can participate as a policy-maker, decision-maker or representative from an interested party. Exactly how you participate depends on the circumstances, and on you: you can take part in the research teams, a CoP, a steering committee, a sounding-board group, or react to the plans and results when they appear in our ‘shop window’.
