The TU Delft Energy News podcast presents news about energy research and education at the university in short audio fragments. In each podcast researchers and students with interesting research results, important publications or simply a special story will be interviewed. There will also be a preview of energy related activities, meetings and Energy Club events of the month ahead. And the podcast presenters will visit a lab or test facility each month. The individual fragments will be published on this website throughout the month. Once a month the fragments can also be downloaded combined in a full podcast.
