## 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](https://www.tue.nl/en/impact/cooperation-with-industry/tue-cooperation-with-industry).
Our publications have high citation scores, consortia we are part of have won [prestigious grants](https://www.tue.nl/en/research/grants-awards) and [our researchers](https://www.tue.nl/en/research/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](https://www.tue.nl/en/research/institutes), Eindhoven Artificial Intelligence Systems Institute ([EAISI](https://www.tue.nl/en/research/institutes/eindhoven-artificial-intelligence-systems-institute)), Eindhoven Institute for Renewable Energy Systems ([EIRES](https://www.tue.nl/en/research/institutes/eindhoven-institute-for-renewable-energy-systems)), Institute for Complex Molecular Systems ([ICMS](https://www.tue.nl/en/research/institutes/institute-for-complex-molecular-systems)) and the [Casimir Institute](https://www.tue.nl/en/research/institutes/casimir-institute) combine the strengths of our university with industry needs and government strategy.
