Our vision, mission, and ambition

In the year 2022, we entered a new strategic period together, with our strategic plan Weaving Minds and Characters: Strategy Towards 2027. In it, our values of Curious, Caring, Connected, and Courageous take center stage. These values guide our behavior and choices.

Within Tilburg University, character formation and identity are central. By having open dialogues with each other and being curious about the other, characters are formed. Students are challenged to develop in the areas of self-reflection, social responsibility, and critical sense. This enables them to contribute optimally to a valuable society.

Tilburg University wants to offer a safe work and study climate in which everyone can develop and learn from each other. We also want to be an attractive employer, with an entrepreneurial organization and responsible funding. Moreover, we want to be a vital, inclusive, and sustainable community ourselves.

Within the implementation of our Strategy, we want to learn from the actions we take and continue to respond to changes. Therefore, we have chosen a rolling strategy, in which plans are not fixed for the coming years but adapt to developments. Tilburg University invites all colleagues to contribute in an engaged way to the continuous development and implementation of the Strategy.
