Industrial Ecology

Master

Industrial Ecology is een opkomende wetenschappelijke discipline die een systematische aanpak naar menselijke problemen voorstaat, waarbij technische, milieu- en sociale aspecten worden geïntegreerd. Gesteld kan worden dat deze aanpak de manier is om tot duurzame ontwikkeling te komen. Daarom wordt industriële ecologie ook wel gezien als de ‘gereedschapskist voor duurzame ontwikkeling’of de ‘wetenschap der duurzaamheid’.

The Industrial Ecology track is a co-operation between three faculties of two Dutch universities:

  1. the Faculty of Science (Leiden University)
  2. the Faculty of Applied Sciences (Delft University of Technology)
  3. the Faculty of Technology, Polocy and Management (Delft University of Technology)

Both universities deliver an equivalent contribution to the overall teaching programme.
