Research at Zuyd
Research at Zuyd
At Zuyd, we work on solutions for questions that matter in society. We do this through practice-based research. Students, teachers, professionals, and regional partners pull together – developing knowledge that is directly applicable and makes a real difference.
We believe that professionals are the driving force behind sustainable change. That’s why our students and researchers work closely with practitioners – learning from each other and helping people and organisations become more agile. What you learn today, you’ll see in practice tomorrow.
Our research projects are short-term and practice-oriented, yet they form part of broader programmes tackling important societal issues. This ensures quick results and helps us build long-term knowledge. Together, we invest in learning, innovation, and lifelong development.
Themes
What does our region really need right now? Where are the opportunities for Limburg? We look at demographic trends and developments in housing, economy, climate, energy, and digitalisation. These are challenges Zuyd is eager to tackle – especially when it comes to our own region.
Knowledge centres
For each research theme, our knowledge centres are a meeting place for students, teachers, researchers, companies, institutions, and governments.
Our research groups
Our research groups carry out practice-oriented research that contributes directly to education, the professional field, and society. Here, researchers, students, and professionals work together to find solutions for real-life issues.
Centres of expertise
Within our centres of expertise, research groups, study programmes, students, and external partners work closely together on practical solutions for current issues. In doing so, we accelerate innovation in the region and ensure that students learn in the context of real-world challenges.
