Green economy
We need to build prosperity and growth sustainably, taking care of the health of ecosystems and the carrying capacity of nature.
In our research projects, we seek ways to find sustainable energy solutions and mobility, promote the green transition in housing and construction and the circular economy.
Our work results in a stronger handprint and a smaller carbon footprint.
The green economy is one of our four strategic themes.
Smaller footprint, bigger handprint
Key research areas
Sustainable energy solutions
Green transition in construction
Sustainable mobility
Additive manufacturing
Responsible management
Circular economy of textiles
The cities of the future will be increasingly able to make use of locally produced energy. Smart grids will optimise energy production and consumption by responding to demand in real time.
