On 15 September 2014, the three Presidents of the Executive Boards of Leiden University, TU Delft, and the Erasmus University Rotterdam signed the Joint Regulations of the Leiden-Delft-Erasmus Strategic Alliance.
Among the results of the strategic partnership so far is the foundation of eight multidisciplinary centres that focus on complex societal challenges. The Leiden-Delft-Erasmus Centre for Sustainability is one of these centres.
The Medical Delta consortium, which has already been in existence for some time, has also been incorporated into the partnership. In teaching, the first completely joint Bachelor's degree programme – Clinical Technology – got underway in September 2014.
The Presidents of the Exexutive Boards of the three universities: Carel Stolker (Universiteit Leiden), Pauline van der Meer Mohr (Erasmus University Rotterdam) and Dirk Jan van den Berg (Delft University of Technology)
