Strategy 2024-2029

ECE’s overarching ambition for the period 2024-2029 is to create impact through our core activities: research, education and collaboration. The ability to create impact is firmly rooted in our research excellence, both fundamental and applied, with the inherent ambition to achieve meaningful and, ultimately, tangible results, which we translate into strong educational programmes.

The vision

ECE wants to be internationally recognised for outstanding research, education and innovation in electrical and computer engineering, creating a positive and visible impact on society and the environment through interdisciplinary collaboration, excellence and diversity.


ECE's strategic focal points

  • Societal challenges

  • Students

  • Private and public organisations

  • Diversity, equity, and inclusion

Our strategic focal points are linked to our ability to create a positive impact on societal challeng­es, students, private and public organisations and to strengthen ECE’s internal processes and sup­port functions.

ECE’s deep technical skills, practical knowledge and ability to understand industry’s needs position us uniquely to carry out research and innovation and develop novel approaches and solutions to global challenges.

Creating a meaningful and positive impact on societal challenges, enhance students’ development and learning experience and creating value for private and public organisations will be achieved by:

  • Having a specific focus on societal challenges

  • Continually strengthening our engineering degree programmes

  • Being internationally recognised for our research

  • Supporting private and public organisations in developing new or improved solutions, products, processes, systems, and services

  • Ensuring that relevant stakeholders have access to up-to-date research-based knowledge as part of our public consultancy activities

  • Creating an innovative and entrepreneurial environment

  • Supporting start-ups to turn ideas into business

  • Prioritizing diversity and equality

  • Ensuring a good working environment

  • Being the collaborating department

Diversity, equity and inclusion

    

We attract talent from around the globe and one of our strengths arises from this diverse commu­nity where everyone is openly invited to contribute with their own perspectives.

We will continue to invest in people, strengthen our internal processes and support functions and strive to foster and promote an inclusive culture.

In the strategy period 2024-2029 we will create an even more inclusive and supportive environment, ultimately contributing to a diverse and equitable future in the field of elec­trical and computer engineering.

Efforts within diversity, equity and inclusion not only benefit the individuals directly involved but also contribute to a richer and more innovative academic community.
