The International Research Projects Delft

Collaboration on India 2019 projects

The International Research Projects Delft (IRPdelft) is a non-profit organization run by 20 enthusiastic and selected Master of Science students from Delft University of Technology. Because of their different backgrounds and fields of study IRPdelft offers a multidisciplinary team of highly motivated and talented students. Furthermore, IRPdelft can provide your company a fresh and unbiased look at company specific research cases.

IRPdelft offers custom-made research solutions for organizations of all sizes. The research topic is determined in close collaboration with your company. After the preparatory phase, a multidisciplinary team of four students will perform a field research in a specified country. Below, an overview is given on our approach to the International Research Projects.

• High quality research conducted by students with state-of-the-art academic knowledge.
• Cooperation with Delft University of Technology professors before and during the research project.
• Confidential and tailor-made research based on your proposal.
• A fresh look at research topics by innovative students.
• Projects carried out on a non-profit basis, backed by the IRPdelft Foundation.

What others have to say.

An inspired IRP team was of great assistance to us in preparing an entry into a new market. We are now building on the foundations they were able to lay down for us!

Jan Karel Mak

Ceo of deerns group.

Throughout both our in-house events and the coaching process, the students of IRP Delft have consistently impressed us with their ability to grasp complex issues and ask critical questions. What sets them apart is their sheer enthusiasm for diving into problems and delivering high-quality work, all while expressing a sincere commitment to driving positive change. Also, they make awesome colleagues! We recommend their services and value our partnership.

Mike Pesselse

Associate at power2x | coach of irp 2023.

The collaboration was efficient and incisive. The assignment was completed successfully, and critical questions were continuously asked from a broad perspective which made us reflect. Truly a valuable collaboration! Outside-in views are always interesting, and IRP’s professionalism and quality of work are first class!

Mark Talens

Global head of supply chain operations at organon international.

International Research Projects Delft can help you develop your business, with studies ranging from supply chain optimization, market research to technical feasibility studies. IRP Delft has demonstrated an ability to identify market opportunities and to give a clear picture of the obstacles and procedures. I highly recommend the work of the talented students of IRP Delft.

Dutch Ambassador to Brazil

Large scale energy projects do not only involve technical questions, but also have significant commercial and social implications. International Research Projects Delft and its energetic and enthusiastic students can help companies with all these aspects. At the same time, companies such as Shell can offer these students valuable business experience.

Commercialization Gap Funding Award recipients announced

The Office of Commercialization has awarded eight WSU researchers with the Commercialization Gap Fund (CGF). The CGF supports research projects with high market potential and provides researchers up to $50,000 to demonstrate their innovation(s) can make an economic impact on society.

The CGF is intended to be the final funding step for near-market technologies. The funding has supported research in the areas of cleantech, engineering, human and animal health, and agricultural and/or information technologies. Funds will be distributed using a milestone-driven process with stipulated goals reached before the next funding increment is approved.

“For more than a decade, the Commercialization Gap Fund has provided funding for researchers who demonstrate that their innovation(s) can make an economic impact in our society. Through the transfer of technologies to commercial entities, valuable knowledge is applied through local and global engagement. This knowledge has the potential to improve lives and enhance the economies in Washington state, the nation, and the world,” said Denise Keeton, interim director of the Office of Commercialization. “Congratulations to this year’s recipients.”

Since the re-establishment of the program in 2014, the CGF has awarded more than $4.66 million in funding to 88 projects. These projects include technologies with 69 issued patents, 113 provisional patents filed, 15 trademarks filed, and 5 copyrights filed. Additionally, 48 of the technologies have signed licensing deals with outside companies and 24 start-up companies have been formed. The gap funding support resulted in $32.6 million follow-on funding for these technologies.

The CGF is made possible through the support of the Washington Research Foundation and was initially jumpstarted through the support of the Office of the President, the Office of the Provost, and the Office of Research.

The 2024 CGF awardees and their projects are:

• Jeffrey Bell, Department of Chemistry “Point of Care Assay for Milk Fever Determination in Dairy Cattle”
• Roland Chen, School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering “High-Throughput Fabrication of Personalized Human/Veterinary Medicine and Supplements”
• Manoj Karkee, Department of Biological Systems Engineering “Automated Green Shoot Thinning System for Vineyards”
• Jong-Hoon Kim, School of Engineering and Computer Sciences “Roll-to-Roll Manufacturing of Stretchable, Skin-Conformal Dry Electrodes”
• Anne Pisor, Department of Anthropology “ClimTo: Promoting and Tracking Climate Resilience”
• Xianming Shi, Voiland College of Engineering and Architecture “Nano-Modified Fine Biochar for Cost-Effective Carbon Neutral Concrete”
• Jinwen Zhang, Composite Materials and Engineering Center “Chemical Upcycling of Polylactic Acid (PLA) and Reutilization of Monomer into Multiple Value-Added Products”
• Jinwen Zhang, Composite Materials and Engineering Center “Transforming Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer Waste into Easily Recycle New Composite Products”
• Zhiwu Zhang, Department of Crop and Soil Sciences “Computer Aided Grain Inspection of Club Wheat Identification”
