The Netherlands Institute for Research in ICT (NIRICT) is one of the core members of ICT Labs. It composes the ICT research at the three Technical Universities: in Almelo (UTwente), Eindhoven (TU/e), and Delft (TUD).
UTwente:
Integrating social and engineering sciences. Developing high tech, with a human touch. It is what the University of Twente is committed to. Through teaching and research at the highest level and through the innovations brought to the market place by over 700 spin-off companies.
We offer degree-programmes in fields ranging from the behavioural and management sciences to engineering and natural sciences. Research spearheads include nanotechnology, biomedical technology, information technology, governance studies, and learning and cognition. The University of Twente is the only full campus university in the Netherlands. It is home to events such as the world’s largest annual student think-tank Create Tomorrow. All on less than 2 hours drive from Amsterdam.
We offer Master of Science students the chance to break through existing academic boundaries and combine technological and social disciplines. Our study programmes are innovative, exploring societies' needs and then applying relevant knowledge. The University is proud of its entrepreneurial focus and supports graduates to turn their research into commercially viable enterprises.
Attracting students from throughout the world, the University of Twente has become an international stage for talent. Top research master’s and doctorate programmes are closely linked to the University Research Institutes.
About UTwente
TU/e: The Technology University of Eindhoven
Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) intends to be a research driven, design oriented university of technology at an international level, with the primary objective of providing young people with an academic education within the ‘engineering science & technology’ domain.
In the field of teaching, the TU/e regards it as its task to train engineers (at Master of Science level) possessing a sound scientific basis and depth of knowledge, as well as the necessary competences that will enable them to develop successful careers in a wide range of fields and functions within the community. The university also trains designers (at Professional Doctorate in Engineering level) and researchers (at Doctor of Philosophy level), as well as first degree teachers in the exact sciences (at Master of Science level). The Bachelor’s programs (BSc) are intended to serve as a basis for further education at Master’s level. In addition, the TU/e provides postacademic programs and courses through the TiasNimbas Business School.
In the research field, the TU/e prefers to focus within the ‘engineering science & technology’ domain on the specific areas in which it takes or can take a significant role in the international scientific world, and in which it can make meaningful contributions to the knowledge-intensive industries and other sectors of the community with a high, or rapidly developing, technology intensity.
In the field of knowledge valorization, the TU/e strives to ensure that its research results are translated into successful innovations and serve as a basis for the creation of new enterprises. It actively encourages students and staff to opt for entrepreneurship.
About TU/e
TUD, Delft University of Technology
Founded in 1842, TUD has been providing technical education for over 160 years. A modern university of science and technology, its eight faculties are at the forefront of technological developments contributing to scientific advancement in the interests of world society.
TU Delft’s excellent research and education standards are backed by outstanding facilities and research institutes. The university maintains close links with (inter)national industry, a strategic alliance that guarantees the relevance of its many academic programmes and ensures rich career prospects for its graduates. All programmes encourage creative and independent thinking with a focus on problem solving.
Delft University of Technology is not only the oldest, but also the largest university of technology of the Netherlands: a university constantly seeking outstanding talent to keep the research and education of this unique institution top-ranked. Ranking 15th in the THES ranking of technical universities, TU Delft excels in research.
Society is TU Delft’s continuous incentive for research. Health, energy, environment and infrastructures & mobility are today's major social issues. That's why TU Delft pays extra attention to research in these four domains. Fundamental research is part of this, because TU Delft aims to find solutions for tomorrow’s problems as well as today’s.
