Impact Program 2018-2021
During the past strategic period (2018-2021), the Impact Program aimed to further shape the impact thinking and doing at Tilburg University. Within the three strategic themes Enhancing Health and Wellbeing, Empowering the Resilient Society and Data Sciences for the Social Good, many programs and projects have been developed that will be continued in the next strategic period.
"Connected" is one of the core values of Tilburg University. Based on the approach, working methods and lessons learned from the past four years, we will continue to shape this core value. We do this, among other things, by further developing important social themes and issues in impactful partnerships; the academic workplaces.
