Top research and innovation
Market forces, individualisation, an ageing population, religious differences. As specialists in people and society, we are concerned about the world around us. We aim to use our research to contribute to a better understanding of society, on the basis of which we can seek solutions to social problems.
Top research
Our research into people and society is firmly anchored in the fields of economics, law, humanities (including philosophy, religious studies, communication sciences) and social sciences (sociology and psychology). National assessments and international reviews prove time and again that we achieve good or very good scores in all these fields.
Innovation
Studying social problems on the basis of a single expertise is no longer enough. Our scientists increasingly face complex themes which require an innovative approach employing several disciplines. Tilburg University has about twenty centres in which academics with all kinds of expertise can work together. These partnerships are innovative and inspiring: new insights and questions often arise precisely at the point where scientific disciplines meet.
