The Dutch national agenda for Defence, Safety & Security is expanding rapidly, creating new opportunities in research, development, and innovation. With increasing national interest, funding availability, and multi-stakeholder collaboration — from NWO and RVO schemes to national programmes — it’s crucial for the University of Twente to position itself strategically in this domain.
To support this, Strategic Business Development (SBD) is compiling a university-wide overview of relevant expertise. This will strengthen our collective proposition and ensure our researchers are visible and connected to the right funding and partnership opportunities.
