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.

The first video lecture is on what we mean by research and the second video lecture explains the concepts of multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary research. Each video lecture is followed by a short recap and some recommended reading on the topic.

Good luck and enjoy!
