We focus on ten societal areas.
TNO cooperates with companies, the public sector and other organisations, to apply our knowledge and expertise with and for others.
We develop knowledge not for its own sake, but for practical application.
On TNO Insights you can read in-depth interviews and articles. Get inspired by TNO’s innovations!
TNO offers you the chance to do groundbreaking work and help customers and society with innovative, practical and smart solutions.
“We must learn how to deal with the dynamics of an increasingly complex, interconnected and rapidly changing world. To get a grip on the challenges that we are facing, we need to understand what kind of interventions will produce what type of outcome in complex adaptive systems. This requires an ‘holistic’ scientific approach,” says Peter Sloot, Scientific Director of the UvA Institute for Advanced Study (IAS). He adds: “and if we want to bring this new knowledge one step further, towards actual implementation, we need not only a combination of basic and applied research, but also strong collaboration with partners from industry and government.”
Peter Werkhoven, Corporate Science Director of TNO: “one of the specific issues that we will delve into is predicting the effect of policy measures, technology development and new business models in several domains. Nowadays, the abundance of data in combination with smart algorithms can already help us a lot in finding patterns. In addition, we need computational models that will help us to understand causal relations and predict the behaviour of systems. That is absolutely crucial in order to create innovations that are effective and sustainable.”
TNO and UvA IAS will bring together a team of researchers with complementary backgrounds and skills to work on this new initiative. The collaboration ‘Policy by Simulation’ will focus on multiscale modelling of complex systems in various application areas: health, crime, energy transition, circular economy, smart structures, cities & mobility.
