Research at TU/e: driven by societal challenges in strong collaboration with industry

Established in the 1950’s, TU/e has always had strong values: optimism, collaboration and a dedication to society. These values helped Brainport Region Eindhoven flourish, and gave our university a prominent position in several rankings for collaboration with industry.

Our publications have high citation scores, consortia we are part of have won prestigious grants and our researchers receive scientific accolades on a regular basis. This distinguishing excellence is based on our three-pillar strategy: attracting talent, using a multidisciplinary approach and providing a stimulating research environment.

Societal challenges on Health, Energy and Smart Mobility are the driving force for our research. Our research institutes, Eindhoven Artificial Intelligence Systems Institute (EAISI), Eindhoven Institute for Renewable Energy Systems (EIRES), Institute for Complex Molecular Systems (ICMS) and the Casimir Institute combine the strengths of our university with industry needs and government strategy.
