Serving and enhancing society to help citizens. That is what drives us. It was the opinion of Tilburg University’s founding father, Martinus Cobbenhagen, that those who want to understand society should be actively and consciously involved in it.

The philosophy of “Understanding Society” is at the basis of what our university wants to contribute. Under this motto, its more than 1,500 employees develop knowledge, transfer it to others, and bring people from various disciplines and organizations together. In this way, we want to contribute to solving complex social issues. Our focus areas are economics, business and entrepreneurship, social and behavioral sciences, law and public administration, the humanities and digital sciences, and theology.

Within THESEUS, the Tilburg University group led by Lokke Moerel is responsible for the exploration of existing governance mechanisms for patching and vulnerability response, investigation of the role of cyber insurance in patching and vulnerability response, the design of regulatory instruments and the development of the governance solutions for managing patching risks and vulnerability response.
