Every year, the ‘Professor of Excellence award |Leermeesterprijs’ is awarded to a professor at TU Delft who excels in both research and education, and who knows how to inspire and motivate the next generation of Delft engineers. Recipients of the award are reckoned among the top of TU Delft. You can only become Professor of Excellence per the recommendation of colleagues, students, and PhD-students, who consider you to be their ‘Leermeester’ and source of inspiration.
