The 4TU.Built Environment collaboration aims to join forces in research and innovation. We do so on domains related to the world's current and future societal challenges by means of Domain Acceleration Teams (DATs). By joining our research & innovation efforts and defining a long-term vision, we can feed and align in the best possible and dynamic way with our partners in the ecosystem. We address current and future missions for a world we all enjoy living in. Our Domain Acceleration Teams currently consist of: - Energy Transition - Circularity and Sustainability - Digitalization - Infrastructure and Mobility - Climate Adaptation and Mitigation - Health in the Built Environment

🔍 New Article Alert: Digitization as the Key to Unlocking the Future of Construction 🏗️💡 The construction industry is facing mounting challenges, from labor shortages to stricter sustainability demands. But there's a way forward: digitization. In our latest article, Deniz Tuzcuoğlu (4TU.Built Environment & Technische Universiteit Eindhoven) explores how technologies like AI, digital twins, and sensor systems can revolutionize how we design, build, and operate buildings. The key? Seamless integration into existing processes. 📍 Highlights: - Collaboration with cities like Amsterdam, Almere & Eindhoven - Insights from the 4TU.Built Environment Research Day on Digitalization - Reflections from the Ministry of Housing and Planning on national data systems 🧠 “Technology alone is not enough. Integration is the real challenge.” – Deniz Tuzcuoglu 📖 Read the full article and discover how we're building a smarter, more sustainable future: https://lnkd.in/emqeSr7U #4TUBuiltEnvironment #DATDigitalisation #DigitalConstruction #AIinConstruction #SustainableBuilding #SmartCities #TUe #Innovation #BIM #DigitalTwins #ConstructionTech
Van harte gefeliciteerd TKI Bouw en Techniek met het nieuwe voorzitterschap door Diederik Samsom. Een voorzitter van signatuur! Doekle Terpstra hartelijk dank voor de prettige samenwerking! Stefan Aarninkhof, Frank van der Hoeven
Per 1 juli 2025 is Diederik Samsom voorzitter van TKI Bouw en Techniek. Hij volgt Doekle Terpstra op, die het voorzitterschap bekleedde sinds de oprichting van TKI Bouw en Techniek in 2022. Samsom over zijn nieuwe rol: “Als we de verduurzaming van onze leefomgeving nog op tijd willen realiseren, moeten we de innovatie in de bouw en techniek versnellen. TKI Bouw en Techniek speelt daarin een sleutelrol en ik ben dus vereerd dat ik daar een bijdrage aan mag leveren.” Lees meer over onze nieuwe voorzitter ➡️ https://lnkd.in/ewuGEmpC
4TU.Built Environment onderschrijft de lessen uit de transitie naar een circulaire economie: "samenwerking, kennisdeling en integrale benadering zijn essentieel voor een succesvolle circulaire economie." Daarmee is ook onze DAT Circularity & Sustainability aan de slag. Lees hun whitepaper hier: https://lnkd.in/eA65X3a7 DAT C&S: Torsten Schröder, PhD, Marc van den Berg, Tom Coenen, Vincent Gruis, Qi Han, Dr. Daan Schraven, Alexander Wandl & Emiel Wubben Supporting: Maaike Riemersma De Feyter & Kristiaan Chpilevski
Lessen uit de transitie naar een circulaire economie. Tijdens de Innovatieconferentie 2025 van TKI Dinalog, Topsector Logistiek en NWO (Nederlandse Organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek) stonden vier onderzoeksprojecten centraal die ieder op hun manier bijdragen aan de circulaire transitie in de logistiek: LINCIT, LogiCELL, Modular Prefabricated Construction en SMiLES. De tijd was te kort, maar de boodschap duidelijk: samenwerking, kennisdeling en integrale benadering zijn essentieel voor een succesvolle circulaire economie. http://bit.ly/3HW6tdT Op 9 oktober organiseren wij weer mede de conferentie: Logistiek Beweegt de Circulaire Economie, noteer deze datum vast in je agenda! Tijdens de sessie was ook een live tekenaar aanwezig, die de besproken inzichten en gesprekken ter plekke heeft vastgelegd in een visuele tekening. Deze illustratie geeft op een creatieve en overzichtelijke manier weer wat er is besproken en welke lessen centraal stonden. Bekijk de tekening hieronder:
