TU Delft Student News
Unsafe situation at Stieltjestower due to strong wind
Due to the strong wind, a facade plate (cladding) of the Stieltjestower was blown away. For this reason, the Stieltjesweg is closed from the Schoemakerstraat to the SPAR. The SPAR is still accessible.
Due to the weather situation, it is not possible for the owner of the building to repair the facade immediately. Repair is only possible when the wind subsides.
It is not yet known when the road will be cleared. Depending on the wind force and wind direction, the roadblock can still be moved accordingly.
P Aula can only be reached via the P Sports entrance and continue along the Civil Engineering and Geoscience faculty building (see road map).

If you have planned a trip to or are currently in China, keep an eye on this website (in Dutch) and follow the advice of the National Coordination Centre for Travellers (in Dutch) and the World Health Organisation (in English). At this moment we would advise you not to travel to China at all.

As of 26 November new filter checks links in email
Do you always check an URL in an email? Do you know what to look out for to see if an URL is reliable? Then it’s good to know that as of November some of these links will look different. At TU Delft we have increased the email protection. All email from external parties send to students (@tudelft.nl) goes through a filter to better protect against phishing, malware, viruses, imposter email, spoofing attacks, etc.
How does it work?
Because all links go through a filter to check it is secure, you will see “urldefense.proofpoint.com/…” instead of the real URL of the link when you hoover over it with your mouse. The link will still work and directs you to the original location. When the filter marks a link as suspicious, you will be directed to an information page instead. This way your @tudelft.nl addressed email is protected at all locations, on and off campus, and on all devices (pc, mac and mobile equipment) that you use.
If you want to copy a link and paste it in a different location, click on the link. In the browser, the original link will be visible. You can copy it there.
Why do we need email protection?
Phishing and email-based attacks have become an increasingly IT security problem, and the TU Delft community is attacked on a regular basis. The filter protects us against viruses, blocks or redirects spam, checks links and attachments. This is an automated process and does not monitor or read private email messages, so your privacy is guaranteed.
Climate Strike November 29th 2019
On November 29th 2019, a national ‘climate strike’ will be organized, as a follow-up to the climate strike of September 27th 2019.
TU Delft attaches great importance to climate action. In this regard, a vision paper was recently published on how we aim to harness our innovative powers to support the world-wide transition to non-fossil energy, and thus support the adaptation of the living environment to the consequences of global warming. In addition, we have signed the joint climate declaration of universities.
We realize this also raises expectations about our attitude towards ‘climate strikes’ as an employer and educational institution. In view of our institutional position on climate action, the approach of the Executive Board with regard to this “climate strike” is as follows:
- As a technical-scientific institution, TU Delft endorses the general purpose of the demonstration;
- We allow staff and students who request this to be present at this demonstration on November 29th;
- Students and members of staff with teaching (or other) obligations are asked to discuss matters with their course supervisor / line manager in case they want to participate in the strike to assess how participation in the strike might impact on these obligations.
