Shell TU Delft Sustainable Mobility Programme
The Shell TU Delft Sustainable Mobility programme is a joint research programme of Shell and TU Delft. Nine PhD students conduct research on specific topics in the area of sustainable mobility. The programme started in September 2006. On 3 September 2010 the PhD students presented their - sometimes still preliminary - results.
- Listen to an interview with Dr. Alexander van der Made, Manager Shell Group Research about the results and why they're important to Shell.
- Listen to an interview with Prof. Tim van der Hagen, chairman of the scientific committee of the programme about the results and the importance of the programme for TU Delft.
