Winter trip with Jong TNO in Austria ❄️🏔️

Skiing and snowboarding all day,
snow angels in between,
and views so good they kept stopping for “just one more” photo 😊

Swipe for mountain views and winter fun ⛷️🏂

Jong TNO (Young TNO) brings TNO colleagues under 36 together through connection, development and fun. This ski and snowboard trip in Austria was a perfect example of that.

Blue Monday 💙

For some, it’s known as a heavy day.
At TNO, blue does the opposite.

From sports shirts to blue details around the office and right at the front door. TNO blue shows up in our workday more often than we realise and honestly, it makes us pretty happy.

Maybe Blue Monday just needs a little more TNO blue 😉💙

Behind the scenes of the Industry & Innovation Debate 🏭💡
Political parties, employers, and unions gathered yesterday at a debate organised by FME, FNV and TNO.
Colleagues Simone and Harriot asked candidate members of parliament: how will your party invest in R&D?
From tech education to making careers in tech and IT more attractive and from European cooperation to radical economic growth... Many perspectives were discussed.
Thanks to all speakers and organisers for this insightful evening 🙌

🎉 Today we are celebrating a special milestone: 30 years of Young TNO! 🥳
A small group of enthusiastic young researchers has grown into a network of hundreds of TNO employees under the age of 36. Young TNO is the community where innovation, knowledge and fun come together. From workshops and study trips to survival weekends… Here, you can meet colleagues from all corners of TNO.

Highlights from the past 30 years:
⛷️ 50+ winter sports enthusiasts on the slopes every year
🎪 Young TNO Lustrum Festival 2025 at Thuishaven (our biggest event ever!)
🏢 4 active committees that keep the network running smoothly

And that’s not all: from surfing to karaoke, there’s no activity we haven’t mastered.
Can you guess which activities Young TNO has done from the emojis?

🚴‍♀️🚴‍♂️ Cycling through Belgium!

Last weekend our TNO Cycling Club joined the Claude Criquélion ride in the Ardennes. The longest route went up to 165 km with more than 3,500 metres of climbing plenty of hills, beautiful views and good company along the way.

Crossing the finish line and enjoying a cold drink together was the perfect ending! ✨

🌍 If you could cycle anywhere in the world, where would you go?

Can a robot calm you down as much as a human touch can? 🤖🤝

Last weekend at Lowlands Science, TU Delft, TNO, part of the Dutch Touch Society, invited festivalgoers to face their fears with… a scary movie 🎥👀

The twist? During the scariest scenes, participants could hold the hand of a friend, a stranger… or even a cuddle robot 🤖💛 Researchers measured heart rate and skin conductance to see if touch could ease the fright.

The results? We’ll have to wait for the science, but judging by the smiles (and a few startled jumps), it definitely sparked conversations about how touch shapes our emotions.

Thanks to everyone who joined in and left a review!

Robot hand or human hand, which one would you choose? 👇

In collaboration with Universiteit Utrecht, Universiteit Twente, TU Eindhoven, Universiteit van Amsterdam, Tilburg University & Hogeschool Utrecht.
