A dynamic CEG Renewal plan Presentation for the CEG staff meeting on 6-7-2009
1. Renewal and realignment
Renewed CEG Substantive choices on the basis of a changing society and own strength • Clear profiling using themes linked to DRIs • Initiatives for new research programmes and knowledge centres • Increased cooperation with the sector • Increased internal cooperation between departments/research groups • Academic entrepreneurship • Increased efficiency facilities
2. CEG in the changing environment
The changing environment Trends • Increasing international urgency of social problems: delta liveability, safety, water supply, sanitation, mobility, energy provision, scarcity of raw materials • Reinforced by climate change with focus on mitigation and adaptation • Changing role of the engineer: process-based operation in broad, multidisciplinary context with explicit attention paid to sustainability • Fierce international competition for research and education • Decreasing 1st money stream and increasing importance of other (European) funding • Increasingly important role for customers and public-private cooperations.
CEG FacultyUnique • Strong international, scientific reputation in the fields of civil engineering and technical geosciences • Unique national position in the field of the structural design of civil engineering works • Unique laboratory facilities for large-scale mechanical testing, micro-materials and geo-mechanical research • Unique study programmes in NL in the field of CT and TA • Research and education with strong social orientation • Excellent international job opportunities for graduates and PhDs.
CEG’s visionCreating solutions for the future In a changing society with challengers appearing all the time, we work on liveability, safety and accessibility. We carry out research and cooperate with companies, government bodies and top universities on the solutions our future society demands. With our years of experience, excellent facilities and research and education programmes are we (with our alumni) a source of innovative applications which are used around the world.
CEG’s missionTo excel, inspire, innovate • To excel on a global scale in research in the field of delta technology, water technology, civil infrastructure, transport and geothermal energy. • To provide international students and staff with an inspiring learning and work environment thanks to state of the art (research)facilities and research-driven education programmes. • To devise innovative solutions for our society in cooperation with our partners.
3. CEG’s changing
5 ThemesClear profiling for CEG • Objective: • Improving alignment with major social themes • Reinforcing internal cooperation across research groups and departments

Partnerships and research programmes Strategic partnerships: • Expertisecentrum Civiele Infrastructuur with RWS/TNO • Construction lab as strategic TUD lab with BK and TNO • KC Watermanagement/Waterbouw with Deltares • 3TU Speerpunt Bouw • EIT KIC Clima • Expertisecentrum Verkeersmanagement with RWS and TNO • Delft Urban Water Cycle Research Centre with IHE, TNW, TBM Agenda-determining initiatives: • NWO-Bio-inspired civil engineering • Institute of Flood and Environmental Risk Management • Cooperation with KWR and TTI Wetsus to arrive at EIT Water
Activities at faculty levelManagement and facilities Management • Stimulating cooperation between departments and faculties • Demands different competences/superiors Facilities • Upgrade building and office space efficiency • Efficiency drive at departmental laboratories
Activities at faculty levelAcademic entrepreneurship Responsibility for individual and group targets Space for initiatives and implementation Peer admonition and exemplary behaviour Customer-oriented, commercial mindset Culture of accountability
Excellence indicators2012 KPIs in comparison to 2008 Education • Growth of influx by 15% in comparison to the 2008/2009 level • Improve the student satisfaction score by 0.3 • Quality assessment of graduates by employers Research • Increase turnover from 2nd money stream projects by 40% • Increase coverage on 2nd and 3rd money stream funding to maximum • matching from direct government funding • Increase share of European programmes in 3rd money stream funding to • 25% • Increase the research output per tenured scientific staff FTE to the top 2 • faculties of the TUD • Increase the number of PhDs per professor FTE to 8 • Increase the scores for research visitations to a minimum of 4.0 and and • average of 4.25
4. Outline of renewal per department
Department of Design and Construction Innovations • Expertisecentrum Civiele Infrastructuur in cooperation with RWS and • TNO • Construction lab becomes strategic TUD Macromechanical lab with • the participation of CEG, BK and TNO • Efficiency drive at laboratory (Stevin II) • Reinforcement of cooperation with Architecture • Winding up of Design and Construction Processes and Building Informatics • Reinforce integral design • Reinforcement of the use of EU programmes and partnerships • Shift from materials orientation to construction orientation • Rejuvenate department management and professor complement
Department of Hydraulic Engineering Innovations • Strategic partnerships with RWS and Deltares • Cooperation in the framework of EIT KIC Clima • Efficiency drive at Water laboratory (Stevin III) • Sharing large-scale model research with Deltares • Rejuvenating department management and professor complement • National cooperation in the field of education in Delta Technology and Climate with HBO Dutch Delta Academy, WUR, VU and UU • Reinforce the theme of Delta technology with the emphasis on safety, ecological hydraulic engineering and integral approach incl. water governance • Start new Institute for Flood and Environmental Risk Management
Department of Watermanagement Innovations • Preparation of Msc Environmental Engineering together with the departments of GT and the faculties of TNW and TBM • Aim to participate in water programme EZ (FES, Innowator, TTI Water) • Aim to participate in KP7 together with KWR and TTIWetsus, strive for EIT Water • Expand water theme into Delft Urban Water Cycle Research Centre • (in cooperation with Unesco/IHE, TNW, TBM)
Department of Transport & Planning Innovations • Reinforce mobility theme on the basis of the designing, development and management of transport/traffic networks • Expertisecentrum Verkeersmanagement in cooperation with RWS and TNO • Reinforce attention paid to goods transport • Aim to participate in NWO Sustainable Accessibility of the Randstad programme and fundamental research into traffic management • Rejuvenate department management

5. Realignment
Realignments (in 2011 in comparison to 2008)Balance between costs and proceeds in 2011 In M€ Cost reductions: 6.0 • Faculty • Office accommodation • Overhead • Departments • Reduction in laboratories/O&O • Reduction tenured scientific staff • Reduction of other costs 0.5 0.5 1.4 2.6 1.0 Income increase: 3.5 Total: 9.5
Reorganisation3 Scenarios 1. Scenario: natural wastage • Without forced redundancies, voluntary departure 2. Scenario: extensive reorganisation for: • Design and Construction: sections SBE, DCP, Construction laboratory • Transport & Planning: reduction in infrastructure research • Geotechnology: reduction in Geolab staff 3. Scenario: limited reorganisation for: • Design and Construction: sections SBE, DCP, Construction laboratory • The rest through natural wastage, voluntary departure.
ReorganisationNatural reduction • Conclusions: • Natural wastage scenario insufficient for Department of Design and Construction; • Use natural wastage up until 2012 in connection with peak numbers reaching pensionable age in 2012 • Facilities required for severance payments (approx. 3 M € ) and benefit burden after dismissal.
CEG Renewal planFollow up • Submit Renewal plan to the Executive Board – answer in early • July • Discuss Renewal plan with Faculty Personnel Committee – • consultation after the summer • Explain plan to the departments – August/September • Detailing where necessary – August/September • Decision making with regard to organisational change – after • September
