Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

David van Bodegom

David van Bodegom became fascinated about the ageing process during his study of medicine. For his PhD research he studied healthy ageing in Ghana. Here, he realised that many of the diseases that he saw every day in the consultation room in the Netherlands were absent in Ghana. He has made it his mission to translate his findings in Ghana into interventions for our modern environment. To that end, he has left the consultation room because he is convinced that the key to healthy ageing lies in the public space. Our daily environments should help us make healthy choice the easy, the normal, the fun choice.

David van Bodegom has published 75 peer-reviewed articles about healthy ageing. Last year he wrote the best selling book: Guide to growing older. He is also holds a master in Ancient history and is an award winning fiction writer.
