Overview

The Industrial Ecology of Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) studies an emergent scientific discipline that promotes a systemic approach to human problems, integrating technical, environmental and social aspects. It is argued that this approach will show the way to sustainable development. For that reason Industrial Ecology is considered to be the 'toolbox for sustainable development' and the 'science of sustainability'.

Leiden-Delft

The Master’s in Industrial Ecology is a cooperation between two Dutch universities:

Leiden University (Faculty of Science)

Delft University of Technology (Faculty of Technology, Policy and Management)

Both universities are at the forefront of the field of Industrial Ecology. Since 2005, when the programme of IE started, the research groups on sustainability issues with a problem owner from industry, government or research institute have gained international respect. Both universities deliver an equivalent contribution to the overall teaching programme.
