About 4TU.Impact

Knowledge institutions are at the core of knowledge generation and innovation. In recent years, the four Technical Universities (TUD, TU/e, UT and WUR) have proven to be very successful at this through cooperation with industry and the valorisation of knowledge. By working together as 4TU to valorise knowledge and by joining relevant partners in parts, we create more impact.

The 4TU.Impactplan 2022-2025 contains the goals and activities to generate this impact. The plan builds on the successes and activities of the Impact Plan 2018-2022.

Below is a summary overview of the 4TU. Impact Plan 2022-2025
