Course Contents

Learn to look at your own field through a new lens. During this course you will develop skills enabling you to be part of the solution in future relying on circular economy. Upon completion of the course you will:

  • Understand the fundamentals of circularity in the context of sustainability in both technical and biological spheres.
  • Have the ability to apply systems thinking to identify material and energy closed loops and zero-waste solutions.
  • Have a deeper understanding of material and energy circularity in technical industrial sectors, and familiarity with current developments in each sector.
  • Have the ability to consider evidence and identify potential couplings of processes as regenerative or restorative solutions towards enhanced circularity.

The study units use blended learning methods. Classroom lectures and exercises are supplemented with online exercises and excursions. This is an excellent course for engineers who are looking to deepen their knowledge within their field of work.
