Wageningen UR's domain of activity is "healthy food and living environment." Within this domain, we can identify three sub-domains: Food and food production, living environment, and health, lifestyle and livelihood. Much of our research takes place at the interface of two or three of these sub-domains. This research brings together academics from a number of different disciplines. This is the Wageningen approach.

9. Wageningen Campus
In recent years, we have been building a modern, new campus where the bulk of Wageningen's research and education activities are now established. Our goal was to create facilities in which educational and research locations could be combined. This creates interesting interactions between students and staff. Increasingly, this type of interaction is also occurring with external parties, now that industrial parties such as the research arm of Friesland Campina have chosen to establish themselves within sight of Wageningen Campus.
