TU/e Sustainability

At TU/e we practice sustainability: it is one of the key strategic priorities of our university. This is done with the aid of our Sustainability Core Team and in collaboration with key stakeholder groups from all four dimensions of the university:

This means, for example, that we separate our waste, aim to provide environmental friendly catering and try to make use of renewable energy on our campus. Moreover, scientists working at TU/e contribute to the sustainable development goals in their research. On top of that, we integrate sustainability into our education. Through this we aim to assist our students to become active change agents for sustainable transformation, capable of facing and solving the challenges our society faces today and in the future.
