AuditoriumLET'S CELEBRATE SCIENCE!
As TU/e, we wholeheartedly embrace the significance of dedicating a special day to our research and researchers. The purpose of the TU/e Research Day is to celebrate science: to honor and appreciate our brilliant scientists, foster connections among researchers, and cultivate a deeper understanding of the remarkable research taking place at TU/e.
This year's specific theme is: Shaping the future!
The ceremony (start 15:00 hrs) is dedicated to the two new honorary doctors who will each give a short lecture. After the ceremonial part, it's time for the Science Awards. Who will win an award this year and will be TU/e's Young Researcher, Groundbreaking Researcher, and win the award for Leadership in Excellence? Who has written the best PhD or EngD thesis?
Before the ceremony, there will be an exhibition featuring the 4 institutes and a pre-program. More information to come.

TU/e honorary doctorates for building materials and mechatronics
Each year, TU/e honors one or more people from outside the university for their significant contributions to a field of study. This year, they are Martin van den Brink and Karen Scrivener. As a professor and the head of the Laboratory of Construction Materials at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Scrivener has done much pioneering research on the building materials cement and concrete. Van den Brink, President and Chief Technology Officer of ASML, is being honored for his enormous contribution to increasing knowledge about the (im)possible in the field of mechatronics, which combines mechanical and electrical engineering. The honorary doctorates will be officially awarded at the TU/e Research Day.
