legacy

You see that the world is facing serious challenges, such as sustainability, the energy transition and, now that we are getting older, our health in the future. These are big questions to which existing answers often fall short. If you feel involved in these themes, you can contribute to the solutions in a special way.

For generations, by generations

Science is uniquely capable of finding these solutions. In groundbreaking projects, passionate students and researchers work on new ways to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow. The fundamental research they do is extremely valuable, but also expensive. With your legacy you give the generations after us a chance for a cleaner, healthy and brighter future.

"A personal choice that feels good."

I studied Applied Physics at TU/e. I graduated in 1969 and that was the starting point of a wonderful career at Shell. Until I retired, I worked in the laboratory on projects that were an extension of my studies. My life was in the service of science. Now I am 79 years old and when I look back on my life, I can only say that my studies at TU/e have brought me a lot. That is why my wife and I are leaving part of our legacy to the Energy Tech Fund. It feels good that we have made this well-considered, personal choice. In this way we give promising talents an opportunity to work on projects that are important for the future of the world we will soon leave behind.' (TU/e alumnus who wishes to remain anonymous.)

“We can beat prostate cancer with a good, quick diagnosis.”

Dr. Simona Turco is conducting research into a better diagnosis of prostate cancer with the help of Artificial Intelligence (A.I.). The University Fund allows her to focus on her work. They can use the money for research without spending valuable time acquiring it.
