Meat-Free Week: your vegetarian or vegan recipe in the Food & More range on campus?
From 7 to 13 March it is Meat (&Dairy)-Free Week, a nationwide initiative to promote a more plant-based diet and to show just what delicious dishes can be created without using meat products. After all, eating vegetarian or vegan food has a substantially smaller carbon footprint than an eating pattern with many animal products.
TU Delft is taking part in this week too. For example, throughout the week, all the Food & Beverage Corners and Self-Service Restaurants on campus will be serving a range of tasty vegetarian and vegan snacks and meals, such as a vegan chick’n saté sandwich, a filled roll with vegan smoked sausage and an Italian roll with crispy chick’n burger with sweet onion and fig chutney. On Wednesday 9 March, there will be a fun food tasting session in the Aula Building organised by De Vegetarische Slager. And during the Meat-Free Week, the product range at all the Food Trucks and Local Heroes will be at least 50% vegetarian. For the latest news on all the activities, go to Food and More on Instagram or Facebook.
Could your vegetarian or vegan recipe be added to the Food & More range on campus?
Food and More is eager to see your favourite vegetarian or vegan recipe! Send your recipe with a photo of the finished dish to procesteam-foodandmore@tudelft.nl, then you will receive a sustainable TU Delft cutlery set and your recipe will be added to the TU Delft vegetarian recipe database. Food and More and CIRFOOD (the main catering provider on campus) will choose the winning recipe from all entries. The winning vegetarian or vegan dish will then be included in the CIRFOOD product range!

Dutch universities condemn Russian invasion of Ukraine
Dutch below
The Dutch universities are shocked by the Russian invasion of Ukraine and empathise with all those affected by it. What is happening there is horrific, and we are deeply concerned about the ramifications for the Ukrainian universities and the academic community. We wish to express our solidarity with students and staff in Ukraine, and we embrace those in the academic communities in Russia who are speaking out against the invasion while courageously continuing to dedicate themselves to peace, dialogue and open cooperation.
The Dutch universities are committed to supporting staff and students who are directly or indirectly impacted by these events. We recognise that Ukrainian and Russian staff and students in the Netherlands are experiencing uncertainty, and we intend to do everything we can to assist them as effectively as possible. The universities will also explore possibilities for offering help to academics in Ukraine. As universities, we have a responsibility to use our research and education programmes to contribute to a better world and to dedicate ourselves to the goals of peace, respect and liberty, as well as academic freedom.
Do you have any questions?
Students who have questions and/or concerns can turn their academic counsellor.

Nederlandse universiteiten veroordelen Russische inval Oekraïne
De Nederlandse universiteiten zijn geschokt door de Russische inval in Oekraïne en leven mee met eenieder die hierdoor getroffen wordt. Het is verschrikkelijk wat daar gebeurt en we maken ons grote zorgen over de gevolgen die het heeft voor de Oekraïense universiteiten en de academische gemeenschap. We zijn solidair met studenten en medewerkers in Oekraïne en we omarmen de academische gemeenschappen in Rusland die zich uitspreken tegen de inval en zich moedig blijven inzetten voor vrede, dialoog en open samenwerking.
De Nederlandse universiteiten zetten zich in om studenten en medewerkers te ondersteunen die hier direct of indirect door geraakt worden. Wij zien dat er onzekerheid is onder Oekraïense en Russische medewerkers en studenten in Nederland. Wij doen ons uiterste best om hen zo goed mogelijk te helpen. Daarnaast gaan de universiteiten kijken welke mogelijkheden er zijn om academici in Oekraïne hulp te bieden. Het is onze verantwoordelijkheid als universiteiten om met onderzoek en onderwijs bij te dragen aan een betere wereld en om ons in te zetten voor vrede, respect en (academische) vrijheid.
Heb je vragen?
Studenten die vragen en/of zorgen hebben, kunnen zich wenden tot hun studieadviseur.

TU Alert: campus to close at 12.30 / campus sluit om 12:30 uur
Due to storm Eunice, the TU Delft campus will close today at 12:30 pm. All on-campus education will be cancelled and buildings will switch to an evening or weekend schedule. This is because of the risk of damage, injury or considerable inconvenience.
Also, with the early closure we want to enable students and staff to travel home safely. Earlier today it was announced that NS will not be running any trains after 2pm.
The safety of our students and staff is paramount. If you live on campus or are required to be on campus, please be alert and careful.
———————————————————————————–
Vanwege storm Eunice sluit de TU Delft-campus vandaag om 12.30 uur. Alle fysieke lessen vervallen en de gebouwen gaan over op een avond- of weekendregime. Dit omdat de kans op schade, letsel of veel overlast aanwezig is.
Ook willen we met de vervroegde sluiting studenten en medewerkers in staat stellen om veilig naar huis te reizen. Eerder vandaag werd al bekend dat de NS na 14.00 uur geen treinen meer laat rijden.
De veiligheid van onze studenten en medewerkers staat voorop. Woon je op de campus of ben je toch genoodzaakt op de campus te zijn, wees dan alert en voorzichtig.
