Consortium meeting at TU Delft

Q-Fibre held its second consortium meeting on 21–22 April at TU Delft in the Netherlands. The two-day meeting was both intensive and productive, providing a valuable opportunity to share progress and discuss the path forward.

Published 15.05.2026

Collaboration across the consortium is progressing well, with strong synergy emerging between partners and the four technical work packages. This positive development reflects the open communication and close cooperation established since Q2 2025.

The meeting also helped identify several key challenges and needs. These include establishing effective practices for sharing in-house software and scripts, selecting a platform for the Q-Fibre toolbox (the project’s ultimate deliverable), and defining scenario-based approaches.

The meeting was held in a hybrid format, with participants joining both in person and online.

Lunch

 

TU Delft demonstrated a fibre optic data measurement during a uniaxial test in the lab, which inspired the partners a real insight into data measurement.

In addition, the on-campus geothermal plant was visited, where the active seismic DAS monitoring was demonstrated in real time.
