Industrial Engineering and Innovation Sciences

Industrial Engineering and Innovation Sciences department at the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) aims at being a European frontrunner in research and education on
leading responsible and effective technology development and
implementation in industry and society.

Our mission is to generate high-quality scientific progress and output, offer excellent educational programs, and create technology-based impact for society and industry, combining disciplinary and multidisciplinary excellence at the interplay of technological sciences, social sciences and the humanities.

As a part of Industrial Engineering and Innovation Sciences department at the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) , research and education in the department of Industrial Engineering & Innovation Sciences focuses on gaining knowledge on and designing solutions for complex industrial and societal challenges arising from the interplay between new key enabling technologies (e.g., robotics, artificial intelligence, green energy and high-tech systems) and humans, companies and society at large.

Scientific career

After a PhD, many scientists opt for a postdoctoral period, often in another country or at another university, mostly for several years. It is an opportunity to broaden and deepen your research skills, contribute to the research field, and build up a track record. TU/e also offers (international) postdoctoral researchers the opportunity to enhance their research experience.

After your postdoctoral experience, you can apply for a Development Track as an Assistant Professor. TU/e encourages talented scientists to develop into assistant and associate professors. Successful associate professors can eventually take the step to a professors’ position.

Research groups include:

• Humans and Technology

• Value of data-Driven Intelligence

• Supply Chain Management 

• Sustainability and Circularity

• Information Systems IE & IS

• Operations Planning Accounting and Control
