The revelation of the symbolic artwork at CEG
While riding or strolling on campus, you might have noticed something strange out of the corner of your eye, something huge and white! This is not just a mysterious white surface, but construction workers are hanging up a symbolic artwork at the faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences which will be revealed on 7 June.
The reason for the artwork is the 125th anniversary of study association “Het Gezelschap Practische Studie”. The artwork represents the studies of the faculty. It exists of a large engraving of all the rivers in the world and got the name “Share Knowledge Like Rivers Flow”. This name is chosen to symbolize the connection the faculty has with water at all places on earth.
Want to see the artwork? On June 7 at 12.45 you can see how the white surface changes into a beautiful piece of art. Make sure you be/ride or walk there!
Campus Run 5 June: athletic scientists wanted
We are pretty sure TU Delft has the most athletic students, PhD’s and scientists of the Netherlands. And we want to prove this. On 5 June, the study association Gezelschap Leeghwater organises a big running event on campus. Good for your energy level and the world; with your participation you contribute to the charity fund Longfonds. This charity helps people with lung diseases and difficulties in breathing.
Take your running shoes out of the closet
During the Campus Run you will see every corner of the Mekelpark. Both routes – 5 or 10 km – will be marked clearly. There are also volunteers who guide the athletic participants through the day, so you won’t get lost!
Volunteering during the Campus Run
Do you prefer to work as a volunteer this day, instead of running the route yourself? We also look for enthusiastic volunteers. Tasks of the volunteers could be providing water and fruit to runners, starting and finishing the event and signing-up runners.
Signing up or donating
Want to sign up? A single ticket costs €5,- and can be bought on the website of Campus Run. Just want to donate for a team or a person? Or do you want to be sponsored? Any questions? Send us an e-mail: info@campusrun.nl

Scientists of TU Delft created the smallest autonomous racing drone in the world
The drone-racing team of MAVLab succeeded in creating the smallest autonomous racing drone in the world. The drone has a diameter of 10 centimetre and weighs 72 grams. With only one camera and very little onboard processing, the drone flies autonomously through a racetrack.
One of the challenges during the creation process, was the usage of just only one small camera and the limited amount of data processing. The most important innovation is the prediction of movement and computer vision. Want to know more about this self-directing and artificial intelligence racing drone?

The world’s first hydrogen powered passenger plane
The students of dreamteam Aerodelft set up Project Phoenix; the world’s first liquid hydrogen-powered two-seater motor glider. Amazing!
This perfect piece of design has a range greater than 2000km and is able to fly from the Netherlands to almost every part of Europe. Just on one tank of hydrogen.
Project Phoenix has a special layer system on both wings, which reduces the drag and fuel consumptions by up to 10% in comparison with other airplanes of this type. Want to know more about this special airplane? Have a look at the website of Aerodelft.
