Societal Impact

In our research and education, we deem it of crucial importance to be a good citizen and feel responsible to provide tangible benefits to society, such as enabling consumers to live a healthy life and mapping the opportunities and risks of digital transformation for society as a whole.

We engage with society and business to determine relevant projects, with possible impactful insights for society – global and local. Many of our research projects are therefore sponsored by large-scale scientific grants as well as carried out in collaboration with municipalities and the province of Limburg with societal goals at heart.

Moreover, we inspire and nurture our students to engage in societal problems and educate them to embrace social responsibility. In all our activities; education, research, and valorization, we strive to be responsive to society by involving students and collaborators.
