Team up for Talent & Impact: How you can JOIN
The Dutch government funds an important part of scientific education and research but not all of it! Alternative revenue is very important in preserving both the University of Twente’s unique character as well as supporting its ambitions relating to education, research and innovation. Contributions are vital to achieve this and support from over 1.200 alumni donors via the Twente University Fund (UFonds) makes a huge difference.
Examples of recent projects supported through UFonds donations include 'eye-on-a-chip' research on personalized treatments slowing retinal damage, a reusable biofuel rocket under development by a student team, the Kipaji scholarship program for students from developing countries, and an emergency fund for students in need. For more information visit the 2025 Annual Campaign webpage.
US based alumni can also help support innovative education and pioneering research at the UT
The University of Twente Friends Fund established under the Netherland-America Foundation (NAF) enables us to connect with the nearly 1000-member-strong American (alumni) community while also offering you the US income tax deduction available to charitable donors in the USA.
To make a one-time or monthly recurring gift now using your credit card or to learn more about the University of Twente Friends Fund visit our online NAF profile.
