Our university

We educate students and advance knowledge in science & technology for the benefit of humanity. We integrate education and research to enable our students and scientists to become thought leaders and to design and achieve the unimaginable. In close collaboration with our public and private partners, we translate our basic research into meaningful solutions. At ¹û¶³´«Ã½, we embrace and live our four CORe values: Curious, Open, Respectful and Responsible.

Eindhoven University of Technology (¹û¶³´«Ã½) is a young university, founded in 1956 by industry, local government and academia. Today, their spirit of collaboration is still at the heart of the university community. We foster an open culture where everyone feels free to exchange ideas and take initiatives.

Integrity and Social Safety

¹û¶³´«Ã½ wants to be an inspiring, warm and safe community for everyone. Therefore, it has defined four CORe values: Curious, Open, Respectful and Responsible. These values are the basis for all ¹û¶³´«Ã½'s policies, decisions and actions.

The Integrity & Social Safety program comprises three aspects. Scientific independence and integrity are key for being an academic trustworthy partner.  Organizational integrity and transparency are essential in setting up operations and relationships. Social Safety is the basis because as an organization, we regard it of utmost importance for all staff and students to feel safe.

All three aspects are not self‑evident, and thus must be promoted actively. That is why at ¹û¶³´«Ã½ we commit ourselves to our values, codes of conduct and regulations that provide guidance for working and studying at our university.

For Life. For the World. For the Better

These three phrases together form the motto of our University Fund. They represent our ambition to contribute to the solution of societal issues. As Eindhoven University Fund, we therefore support researchers and students. Their work deserves a solid financial basis. So that they can find solutions to current and future challenges. Solutions for methods and techniques that can be applied.
