The University of Twente is a university that stands for high tech, human touch. It is a university of entrepreneurship and technological innovation. At the same time, we acknowledge that problems and challenges in society are typically human, socially and institutionally driven.

A social sciences faculty within a technological environment allows for unique opportunities in this landscape. At the BMS faculty (Behavioural, Management and Social sciences), technology meets life: we aim to set the agenda for education and research related to the current and future role of science and technology in our society. The BMS LAB fits seamlessly in this setting. We aim to be an outstanding behaviour and social sciences lab. We connect researchers and students by being a catalyzer for high standing and innovative research and education.
BMS LAB is a focal point where high tech and human touch meet at a faculty-central place. Through an offer of high-quality infrastructure, services and resources, we aim to enable innovation in education and research.
