Innoseis ST is a sensor technologies company that has disrupted billion dollar industries with its innovative and curiosity driven approach. As a spin-off from the National Institute of Subatomic Physics in the Netherlands, its mission is to bring to market cutting edge technologies developed in the quest for a better understanding of the universe through gravitational astronomy

Seismic surveying technology is a crucial link in addressing the energy needs of a growing world population. This technique makes use of large-scale sensor networks to non-invasively image underground structures. In this way energy companies can effectively pinpoint potential hydrocarbon and geothermal reserves, and utilise existing resources more efficiently. Innoseis delivers wireless sensor solutions that are designed from the ground up to be ultra-low power and scalable to a million nodes. The ultra-low power performance of our technology means less battery capacity is required resulting in significantly smaller sensor nodes, without compromising on seismic signal fidelity. The cost effectiveness of our technology also provides the industry with the opportunity to constantly monitor production reservoirs to exploit them more effectively and hence greatly increase return on capital expenditure. Innoseis is a spin-off company of Nikhef, the Dutch National Institute for Subatomic Physics and is committed to the transfer of fundamental research to industrial applications. Besides ultra-low power sensor networks our expertise also extends to novel (seismic) sensing and read-out techniques including MEMS technology. In addition our vibration isolation systems are used to generate ultra-low vibration environments - with this technology we have created the ‘quietest place on Earth’ in our laboratory.

The VvTP (Vereniging voor Technische Physica) is the Association for Students of Applied Physics students, bachelor (TN) and master (AP), and MSc Quantum Information Science & Technology (QIST) at Delft University of Technology. The VvTP is an active and well organized association and is completely run by students. About 150 of its 1200 members are involved in a committee or as a full time board member for a year. Because of the high percentage of active members, students get easily involved in the organisation of various activities as well as ensuring a high participation rate. Formally, the objectives of the VvTP are to diversify the interests of Applied Physics students and to advance the study for Applied Sciences. To accomplish these objectives, the association is active in four different areas: education, career orientation, science and entertainment.
