At the University of Twente, we are at the forefront of integrating technology, science, and engineering with social sciences to create a meaningful impact on our surroundings. Our core motivation, as students, scientists, and educators, stems from a profound connection with individuals who share a curious and entrepreneurial mindset.

The challenges we face today are unprecedented, encompassing global resilience, the digital transformation of society, the enhancement and personalization of healthcare, and the reimagining of our world through smart materials and intelligent manufacturing. Technology plays a pivotal role in addressing these complex societal issues on a global scale, but it is the people who bring this technology to life. In our quest to understand our planet and improve the quality of life for all its inhabitants, we celebrate the intrinsic relationship between humanity and technology, recognizing that neither can thrive in isolation.
