4TU(stylized as 4TU.Federation) is the federation of the fourDutchuniversities of technology:

It was founded in 2007 as3TUand was renamed to 4TU in 2016, in response to the entry of WUR.[1]

The federation aims at maximizing innovation by concentrating the strengths in research, education and knowledge transfer of all technical universities in theNetherlands.[2]

Master Programmes

[edit]

The three universities of technology in Delft, Eindhoven, and Enschede are jointly committed to strengthening and pooling technological knowledge with the aim of producing sufficient and well-trained engineers and technical designers, of carrying out outstanding and socially relevant research of an international standard, and of promoting cooperation between research institutes and businesses. The following joint master's degree courses are currently available:

Stan Ackermans Institute

[edit]
4TU.School for Technological Design, Stan Ackermans Institute
Established1986
Location
Delft,Eindhoven,andEnschede
Websitewww.4tu.nl/sai

The 4TU.School for Technological Design, Stan Ackermans Institute (4TU.SAI) was started in 1986 at TU/e; the name was chosen in honor ofprof.dr. S.T.M. Ackermans,therector magnificusof the university who retired the year before and who spent a good deal of his career lobbying for more attention in university education to the needs of the companies who would employ the graduates.[9]

4TU.SAI manages different post-graduate technical designer programs across TU Delft, TU/e, and UT. Each designer program is two years in length and is intended to teach young masters starting in their careers the design skills needed to design the complex systems needed in thehigh tech industry.Graduates are granted aProfessional Doctorate in Engineeringdegree and may use the postfix PDEng after their name.[10]

The post-master programs offered by 4TU.SAI are:[11]

  • Automotive Systems Design (TU/e)
  • Bioprocess Engineering (TUD)
  • Business & IT (UT)
  • Chemical Product Design (TUD)
  • Civil Engineering(UT)
  • Civil and Environmental Engineering (TUD)

Applied Mathematics Institute

[edit]

The 3TU Applied Mathematics Institute (3TU.AMI) is one of the Centers of Excellence of the 3TU Federation. The AMI is dedicated to coordinating the activities of different applied mathematics groups at the three technical universities. These coordinated activities include the research, but also the master's programs, internships and knowledge valorisation. In the period 1990–2006, the joint MSC program graduated 1229 students.[12]

On 23 September 2010, the 3TU Federation announced an extensive cooperative agreement with AMI'sGermancounterpart,MATHEON.The cooperation will extend to shared master's programs, coordinated graduate schools, a European project for e-learning, a Dutch-German research program and an exchange program for professors. The AMI-MATHEON cooperation will encompass 80 professors and over 500 researchers; it will be the largest mathematics cluster in Europe.[13]

4TU.Centre for Research Data

[edit]

4TU.Centre for Research Data[14](short name: 4TU.ResearchData) (formerly known as 3TU.Datacentrum[15]) is adata archivefor research data inscience and engineering.The archive stores research data in a permanent and sustainable manner, according to the guidelines of the international Data Seal of Approval;[16]it is listed in the Registry of Research Data Repositories re3data.org.[17]

4TU.ResearchData is currently run by a consortium of three partners:TU Delft,TU EindhovenandTwente University.The consortium is open to any organization that shares, and actively contributes to, the archive’s mission. It is part of the larger 4TU.Federation[18]that comprises Delft, Eindhoven and Twente and alsoWageningen University.
