Academics and Researchers
ENGAGE.EU offers interesting events, networks and exchange options for academics and researchers. We facilitate collaboration and networking among researchers of our nine partner institutions via our research platform. By working together in the ENGAGE.EU networks for societal change we transform our engagement in research and innovation. We map and analyze societal change drivers, pool, share and link data resources. We push the boundaries of research and innovation by joining forces with actors from industry, non-profit organizations and the public sector, aiming for durable impact.
Upcoming events
On Tuesday the 18th of April, we will celebrate the launch of the community together with you. We will officially open the collaboration platform. We welcome you to celebrate with us. Please join us at an online meeting from 15.00-16.00. You can sign-up for the event on the community platform or via an e-mail to engage-community@tilburguniversity.edu. We are looking forward to seeing many of you at our launch event!
