Integrity and Social Safety
TU/e wants to be an inspiring, warm and safe community for everyone. Therefore, it has defined four CORe values: Curious, Open, Respectful and Responsible. These values are the basis for all TU/e's policies, decisions and actions.
The Integrity & Social Safety program comprises three aspects. Scientific independence and integrity are key for being an academic trustworthy partner. Organizational integrity and transparency are essential in setting up operations and relationships. Social Safety is the basis because as an organization, we regard it of utmost importance for all staff and students to feel safe.
All three aspects are not self‑evident, and thus must be promoted actively. That is why at TU/e we commit ourselves to our values, codes of conduct and regulations that provide guidance for working and studying at our university.
For Life. For the World. For the Better
These three phrases together form the motto of our University Fund. They represent our ambition to contribute to the solution of societal issues. As Eindhoven University Fund, we therefore support researchers and students. Their work deserves a solid financial basis. So that they can find solutions to current and future challenges. Solutions for methods and techniques that can be applied.\
Student Sports Center
With almost 14.000 members, the Student Sports Center Eindhoven (SSC) is the heart of Eindhoven student life! For over 55 years, TU/e and Fontys students, employees and alumni have enjoyed the largest Eindhoven sports program here. After work and study, the SSC is the place on campus for exercise, sports and socializing. A Home away from Home!
We offer 70 sports, fitness and (special) courses under the guidance of qualified (top sports) instructors. In our extensive facilities you can exercise freely and at our 38 student sports associations you have the chance to shine athletically, gain management experience and of course enjoy student life. Starting from € 120,- per academic year you can play sports at the SSC seven days a week, before, during or after college hours.
Putting the spotlight on science and culture

Most programs are free.
University alliances & networks
TU/e joins forces with other universities and partners at home and abroad. In this way, we are able to enhance our impact for science, industry and society, conduct high-quality interdisciplinary research, act as a gateway for regional partners into the world-wide science networks and create an international climate for study and work.
