Have you heard of the bronze statue of Prometheus, carrier of the TU Delft flame? It was stolen in January 2012, after residing on the campus for almost 60 years. After a four-year absence, he now returns to campus! To fill the ‘gaping hole’ the theft left behind the TU Delft organised a competition for a new statue. The winning design came from Willem Jager. The new statue consists of a metal sheet with a cut-out of the old Prometheus statue. It is a tribute to the original statue and represents the void that the theft left behind.

On Friday 8 January 2016, the new statue of Prometheus will be unveiled by Rector Magnificus Karel Luyben. You are welcome to come along to see the new statue. The statue will stand in its former location in the Mekelpark, in front of the Applied Physics building.

Read about the new statue on the TU Delft Library blog: Prometheus is back!

We have an unusual but interesting question for you! On the 12th of January, part of the movie ‘Broers’ will be recorded at the TU Delft. The director is looking for 25 TU Delft students that are willing to play students attending a lecture. With this, he wants to come as close to the real atmosphere in lectures as possible to secure the credibility of the movie.

So, are you a clever looking (yes, that is an official requirement) student at the TU Delft, older than 20 AND free on the 12th of January, from 12:00 onwards? And, would you like to see a movie recording up close or are you – as a back-up option – aiming for a career in Hilversum or Hollywood? Then we are looking for you! Send an email with your personal details (name, age, study, email adress and phone number) and a picture of yourself to tryntsje_rinkema@live.nl, and she will be in touch.

BROERS is a production of BALDR Film Amsterdam. The movie tells about the relationship between two brothers (you wouldn’t have guessed). The younger one, Lukas, idolises his older brother, Alexander, but when they fall in love with the same girl, Lukas is forced to find his own identity.
