[### Four Vici grants for leading TU Delft researchers

The Dutch Research Council (NWO) has awarded a Vici grant of up to 1.5 million euros to four TU Delft researchers in the domain of Exact and Natural Sciences (ENS). This will enable them to develop an innovative line of research and further expand their own research group for five years. Vici is one of the largest personal scientific grants in the Netherlands and is aimed at advanced researchers. A total of 39 Vici grants have been awarded. The grant is an incentive for adventurous, talented and groundbreaking researchers.](https://www.tudelft.nl/en/2026/tu-delft/four-vici-grants-for-leading-tu-delft-researchers)

[### TU Delft Campus makes switch to geothermal energy

After years of preparation, research and construction, the moment has arrived: the geothermal well on TU Delft Campus has officially been put into operation. The well supplies sustainable heat to the majority of university buildings as well as several DUWO student housing complexes. As a result, CO₂ emissions from building heating will decrease significantly, with reductions expected to reach approximately 80% by 2027. Equally important is the substantial amount of scientific data generated by the well.](https://www.tudelft.nl/en/2026/tu-delft/tu-delft-campus-makes-switch-to-geothermal-energy)

[### Time-traveling to galaxies of the past: creating a 3D map of the early Universe

When you look up at the sky at night, at the endless amounts of stars and constellations, you might begin to wonder about the origins of the Universe. And that is exactly what experimental astronomer Akira Endo, and his team, are trying to uncover. They are creating a 3D map of the early Universe, for which they’re developing a chip with tiny terahertz spectrometers, which are very small analytical instruments that measure the properties of far-infrared light. Akira is a researcher at the Terahertz Sensing Group of Delft University of Technology, and he has received a Vici grant from the Dutch Research Council (NWO) for this study.](https://www.tudelft.nl/en/2026/eemcs/time-traveling-to-galaxies-of-the-past-creating-a-3d-map-of-the-early-universe)
