Geoscience
This is our time to work on healthy soil in the Netherlands. That’s why we’re working hard to make the subsurface more sustainable, harness the opportunities of geothermal energy, and abundantly research subsidence.

Safe and future-proof use of the subsurface
At TNO we focus on the safe and sustainable use of the subsurface for energy and raw materials, responsible groundwater management and future-proof land use. Businesses and governments rely on our data and insights for effective decision-making.
Science and innovation
At TNO, we combine science and innovation with social commitment. Rather than wait around, we keep moving — not alone, but together. And we always have one goal in mind: to help build a strong, safe, and future-proof society.
We invite you to contribute your ideas, join in the conversation and work with us — because it is precisely by combining our knowledge, experience, and ideas that we really make a difference.

TNO employees are driven professionals who push boundaries every day. They develop innovative solutions in the areas of health, sustainability, digitalisation, and safety. In doing so, they make their mark on our time, the time setters.
Time setter stories
'I find working with other ‘geo-addicts’ really inspiring.'
'It’s wonderful to work with your hands and, at the same time, use your brain in relation to the composition and water permeability of the subsurface.'
