Our mission

TSC aims to contribute to the national and international debate about sustainability and sustainable growth among researchers, executives, politicians, students and civil society. To gain insights, TSC can build on the excellent disciplinary expertise of our own researchers, pushes out the frontiers of multidisciplinary research and maintains partnerships with other (inter)national institutions, the business community and (various layers of) governments. In sharing our research outcomes and solutions, TSC hopes to provide a benefit to society.

TSC activities

Tilburg Sustainability Center's major activities are the participation in (inter)national research programs and a broad set of research projects. Our researchers also teach (under)graduates and postgraduates. To publicize research results and promote both academic and public debate, TSC organizes and participates in both internal and external seminars, conferences, public lectures and other outreach events. Our researchers regularly connect to the public via articles and interviews in different media. Some contributions can be found in this outreach dossier.
