Water & Delta Technology is an area in which Delft University of Technology boasts a long track record of excellence. The more the world becomes aware of the impacts of climate change on water resources and vulnerable deltas, coasts and river areas, the more important this cluster will become.

To strengthen the leading role of this knowledge cluster in Delft, it is vital to combine and synergize expertise and networks. Knowledge is primarily necessary in the field of applied sciences, but any efforts to address water and delta issues must also take the social, economic and spatial aspects on board. This joined-up approach is precisely the strength of the cluster already in place in Delft.
