DISC is a virtual institute with a board consisting of representatives of all participating universities and an external member, plus a scientific director who is chosen by rotation from the participating universities. The secretarial facilities are hosted by the Delft University of Technology.
EPL
Eindhoven Polymer Laboratories do research into polymers and polymer materials. The EPL is distinct from the Dutch Polymer Institute in that it has different focus areas, namely:
  • Complex Molecular Systems
  • Functional Polymers and Devices
  • Multi-scale Modeling and Advanced Characterization

The EPL maintains long-term research programs into all these focus areas and offers Ph.D courses as well.

  • to implement a joint programme of graduate education in theoretical physics that draws upon a dynamic research environment;
  • to maintain and strengthen research in theoretical physics from a broad unifying perspective that exploits the interrelationships between different fields of theory;
  • to strengthen, both in research and graduate education, connections with experimental physics, and other disciplines such as mathematics, computational science, astrophysics, earth science, physical chemistry and the life sciences.
IPA
Institute for Programming Research and Algorithms is a cooperative research school involving university education, research and industry work. The IPA's main mission is to provide researches with education in the areas of programming research and algorithms. The institute provides Ph.D programs, does research into a number of key areas and assists industry partners in solving problems.
BOUW
Research School Integral Design of Structures is a research institute that focuses on all aspects of building: building processes, structural and engineering design and so forth. It is hosted by the Delft University of Technology, with a mission "to generate deeper and broader scientific knowledge in structural design, structural engineering and building processes but also to disseminate that knowledge and stimulate its application".
EM
Graduate School on Engineering Mechanics is a coordinating institute that coordinates research and education in engineering mechanics across the three Dutch technical universities. Its primary aims are to "provide additional education and training for PhD students of the participating institutions and to foster scientific contacts and collaboration".
TRAIL
TRAIL Research School is a research institute dedicated to providing Ph.D programs and doing theoretical and applied research in the areas of mobility, transport, logistics, traffic, infrastructure and transport systems.
COBRA
The Inter-University Research School on Communication Technologies Basic Research and Applications does research and industrial development of communication technologies and materials. It also provides Ph.D programs in these areas and knowledge transfer to industry.Its mission is to excel in acquisition, transfer and application of knowledge in communication technology by doing high-quality research combined with offering a prestigious post-academic educational program for PhDs and PostDocs.
NETHUR
Netherlands Graduate School for Housing and Urban Research is a cross-university research and educational institute focusing on urban and regional development. It hosts Ph.D programs and research programs for joint research by Ph.D candidates and their supervisors. The institute is hosted by the University of Utrecht and has as its mission "to promote and support urban and regional research of a high international scientific standard in the Netherlands".
SIKS
The School for Information and Knowledge Systems is a virtual research institute managed from the Delft University of Technology, whose purpose is to coordinate the different research and educational activities among its participants in the area of knowledge systems. The focus areas of SIKS include different types of information systems, human-computer interaction, agent technologies, computational intelligence and data management.
Thomas Stieltjes Institute for Mathematics
The Thomas Stieltjes Institute for Mathematics is a joint research institute of six Dutch universities and two mathematical institutes, which carries out research in the areas of Algebra & Geometry, Analysis, Stochastics and Operations research.
CIPV
The Center for Integrated Manufacturing and Development (Dutch: Centrum voor Integrale Productievernieuwing) is a joint center focusing on product development. The center (which is hosted by the University of Twente) participates in the development of individual products and spans all areas of the product development (including design, process planning, factory floor planning, operations management and handling, assembly, recycling, manufacturing systems, materials and more). It's mission is "he development and transfer of knowledge regarding the integrated approach of technical design and manufacturing of industrial products".

Famous quotes containing the words research and/or schools:

    I did my research and decided I just had to live it.
    Karina O’Malley, U.S. sociologist and educator. As quoted in the Chronicle of Higher Education, p. A5 (September 16, 1992)

    To be a Negro is to participate in a culture of poverty and fear that goes far deeper than any law for or against discrimination.... After the racist statutes are all struck down, after legal equality has been achieved in the schools and in the courts, there remains the profound institutionalized and abiding wrong that white America has worked on the Negro for so long.
    Michael Harrington (1928–1989)
