In the Media

Delta Systems

All activities within the Delta System Theme are aimed at a better understanding of the problems of the delta and to enhance resilience by developing long-term solutions. Find our most recent projects below.

City

How do multifaceted problems lead to increasing social inequalities within and across generations, and how can interventions contribute to an equal quality of living? These question are at the heart of the projects in the city theme. Find our most recent projects below.

Port

Projects within this theme deal with the uncertainties and changing conditions like climate change, social responsibility and the rapid emergence of new digital technologies, to transition the port into its future leading roles. Find our most recent projects below.

Methodology

Different methods and processes are designed to bring together diverse scientific disciplines, academic and non-academic (public and private) partners. The GLUONs are a great example of a project that can be applied across all our themes. Find our most recent projects below.

Labs & Communities

The projects within the Labs & Communities theme are cross-cutting to our research themes and aim to enable researchers and partners to collaborate in a more accessible, structural and transdisciplinary manner. Some projects have their own websites, like Bos op Poten, HeatLab & Rotterdam Atmospheric Monitoring Network and WijkWijs. Find our most recent projects below.

Education

Our educational program focuses on tackling real-world challenges in the Rotterdam delta. Using an interdisciplinary approach, we prepare students to become the next generation of skilled professionals. Find our most recent projects below.
