EWUU alliance (TU/e, WUR, UU and UMC Utrecht)

In the EWUU alliance four institutions connect their scientific knowledge in research and education. Eindhoven University of Technology, Wageningen University & Research, Utrecht University and UMC Utrecht cooperate on a cross-disciplinary basis in the areas in which they complement each other. In this way, EWUU alliance contributes to urgent and societal transitions.

Challenging future generations

The motto of EWUU alliance is ‘Challenging future generations’. Using an unconventional approach, the alliance challenges new generations of researchers, tutors and students to work together, across disciplines, without imposing limits in advance. It focuses on research results with an impact on society. To this end, the EWUU alliance also cooperates with external partners.

Research

Key research themes within the EWUU alliance are Preventive Health (PH) and Circular Society (CS). The research programmes Living Technologies (LT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) have been launched to support these themes. In the Centre for Unusual Collaborations (CUCo), the alliance encourages and facilitates unusual collaborations between young academics within the EWUU alliance.

Education

In the EWUU alliance, the four institutions work together to renew their education, make it more widely available and create joint education. To this end, a number of projects have been launched. This will ultimately lead to a future-proof innovative educational concept. In this way, students from different disciplines and institutions work together on major social issues and challenges.
