 What is Delta S ?
|
The Delta S foundation is an independent group wherein specialists with technical, scientific creative and commercial knowledge and skills assemble their forces to form a broadly oriented creative unit. Delta S is a thinktank, development and educational center that amalgamates the arts, sciences, technique and commerce to realize innovative ideas and projects. Delta S also realizes practical projects for third parties wherein its bundled skills and expertise are applied. Delta S is a foundation operating on a non-profit basis. Delta S keeps its focus on the realization of ideal structures to stimulate innovation and interchange of knowledge. Commercial projects which are handled by Delta S will be spun-off into independent commercial units which contribute resources back to Delta S enabling it to fulfill it's aims. |
| The aims of Delta S
|
Delta S focuses on being a high-level platform that transcends established modes of collaboration so that it can successfully take on more demanding projects that would otherwise not be feasible. Delta S has the attitude that in the new millennium bridges should be built between the large variety of disciplines in art and science and that established work structures should be augmented such that they can bridge social strata in a way that enables more people to contribute to progress. On a per project basis, collaborative groups are initiated in which 'melting disciplines together' takes a prominent place. Within these projects Delta S wants to achieve a maximum of interaction between 'anchored knowledge' and 'floating knowledge' - between formality and creativity. |
| Participants
|
The structure of Delta S currently layered in the founding members, the active collaborators/consultants and financially contributing members. |
| Projects
|
Projects can be realized by Delta S or by external parties in collaboration with Delta S. Typically a project entails the formation of a group of specialists from several disciplines that will research the subject involved and will - for example - produce a report with recommendations and/or proposals. Possibly it develops a prototype (conceptual and/or material) or is involved with complete realization of a project or product. |
| Network
|
Delta S develops and maintains relations with all sorts of specialists on most fields of endeavor. Delta S aims at bringing together widely diverse disciplines within the Delta S network to stimulate collaborations and realization of projects. The network will be the resource from which we will draw the participants in the Delta S projects. Also the network is meant to enhance the inter-personal dispersion of knowledge and ideas for the benefit of the individual participants. Another aim is to form a world wide network of accommodations for participants to work and live whenever there is a need for the realization of a project at a location. Also this network creates a great opportunity to let the specific work environments melt together with the private needs in a pleasant and productive manner. |
| Thinktank
|
Delta S manages a thinktank for new developments and improvement of existing technology. One of the greatest handicaps of new products and developments is the fact that they come about from a traditional point of view. This leads, for example, to a product with a faulty link-up to the target-group for which the product is intended. The interdisciplinary thinktank of Delta S creates an environment for developers that enhances their project's quality and marketability by synergizing with resources that are normally not tapped into. Also the thinktank is a source of new ideas that may lead to new projects. |
| Laboratory
|
Delta S will establish a network of laboratories that is aimed towards creating a conducive environment for creation and education. The aim is to build an environment that is less structured than a traditional laboratory, enhancing the process of creation by allowing for a more joyful approach towards generating ideas and getting work done. Also the laboratory is intended for continual education on a personal schedule. |
| Databank of ideas
|
Delta S will create a databank of innovative ideas. The aim of this databank is to collect ideas to be shared with other participants of Delta S, to stimulate progress in developments and to ease the forming of project groups. The data-bank knows several levels of accessibility for participants - depending on the desirable protection within Delta S and towards the outside world. Ideas can be added not only by participants of Delta S but also by external parties. To access the full extent of the databank's content one has to become a participant of Delta S. When a third party wants to access one particular idea from the data-bank, this is negotiable with Delta S. |
| Educational projects
|
Delta S wants to play a role in setting up special education projects. This concerns the development of projects for a wide audience (workshops, presentations for learning at schools and museums) as well as initiating educational projects for talented individuals. Important aim is to develop a situation for continuous education and life-time learning. |
| Professorial chair
|
The funding party will gain knowledge and a more direct connection to latest developments, whilst in the other direction a dispersion of knowledge takes place. Interested parties have the opportunity to fund a so called professorial chair within Delta S. This means that within a certain discipline Delta S creates a function (a chair) for a specialist who then has the possibility to bring out as well as gain knowledge and to initiate and guide projects for Delta S. |
| Salon
|
Delta S will erect so called salons, much like they existed in the renaissance. This means that Delta S will stimulate and initiate meetings where participants of Delta S exchange their experiences and knowledge in a pleasant and invigorating way. This concerns both the informal relationship between participants but also the organizing of lectures and presentations with a more formal intention. The Delta S salon is not only open our participants but also for those individuals who like to taste the force of the Delta S network. |
