TU Delft is one of the leading institutions in engineering and technology, 5th of European universities in the latest QS rankings. Particular in the field of micro/nano-engineering, TU Delft is known globally for its deep expertise in sensors, MEMS/NEMS, integrated photonics, and advanced fabrication. Its 3000+ m² state-of-the-art cleanroom is among the largest and most capable academic nanofabrication facilities in Europe.
What makes TU Delft indispensable to TEAM-NANO is its long history of delivering high-impact engineering solutions through large-scale, collaborative research programmes. The university plays and played major roles in projects like:
- Graphene Flagship (sensor technologies & nanomaterials)
- Plantenna Project (environmental sensing platforms)
- NXTGEN HighTech Programme (future micro/nano manufacturing technologies in NL)
- Dutch national initiatives in photonics, microfabrication, and nanodevice engineering
This ecosystem positions TU Delft as a key enabler for manufacturing-oriented nanotechnology research, bringing engineering maturity, infrastructure, and world-class know-how.
How TU Delft contributes to TEAM-NANO:
• Co-development of MEMS/NEMS, sensors & photonic device prototypes
• Training for SUNUM researchers in advanced cleanroom processes
• Engineering pathways for scalable and manufacturable device platforms
• Support in modernising SUNUM’s fabrication workflows & methods
TU Delft brings the engineering backbone of TEAM-NANO, ensuring that scientific ideas can be built, tested, scaled, and ultimately translated into real-world impact.
