The Dies Natalis is the University’s annual celebration, featuring a themed programme highlighting research. In 2026, it marks the farewell of Rector Tim van der Hagen and the welcome of Hester Bijl. To energize a formal programme, a tango act and dynamic stage design were incorporated.
The Bachelor’s programme in Life Science and Technology is constantly evolving. For this project, we created a promotional video that gives prospective students a clear and current picture of the programme and of the paths it can lead to after graduation.
Every TU Delft staff member is periodically invited to a Resultaat- en Ontwikkelgesprek. To support that process, we were asked to create a short, dynamic video that would be included with every invitation and underline the value of the conversation.
In collaboration with NMC Live, we developed the event’s opening sequence. What began as an energetic video designed to immediately engage the audience evolved into a powerful showcase of everything TU Delft has achieved in recent years.
What happens when a robot helps you shop? This question shaped a groundbreaking project led by Dr. Marco Rozendaal, where VR simulations in a supermarket explored how people and robots interact in public spaces. By blending design, theatre, and puppeteering, the research revealed how robots can earn trust and acceptance—not through perfect programming, but by designing behaviors that feel meaningful and socially appropriate.
Do you know how to transform your research idea into a funded project? To demystify the process, the NMC Graphics team at TU Delft designed a clear, step-by-step infographic outlining every phase of grant applications—from finding funding and consulting support to drafting, submitting, and following up. Developed in collaboration with stakeholders, and available in print and web formats, this guide uses color, icons, and layout to guide researchers through institutional workflows and reduce administrative uncertainty.
The Safety Science Wall transforms a TPM corridor into a visual story of safety science, created by Cok Francken, graphic designer from TU Delft’s NMC. Six large panels trace the field’s evolution using restored images, infographics, and archival posters, showcasing how design and research can turn complex history into an engaging, accessible narrative.
