Erasmus Mundus in Industrial Ecology

About


“Industrial Ecology“ (IE) is an emerging interdisciplinary field combining natural, social, as well as technical sciences, which considers in a integrated systemic approach all different levels from global to the local. Issues related to the environment require a systemic approach so that the connections and feedbacks between industrial activity, human activity and ecological processes can be incorporated in the assessment and problem solving. The issue of "industrial ecology" encompasses physical, chemical and biological links and interrelations between several industrial systems as well as between industrial and ecological systems.

The objective of the “Erasmus Mundus Master's Programme in Industrial Ecology” is to offer an international and interdisciplinary Master's programme at the highest level, which allows the participants to make an essential contribution to understanding and proposing solutions to problems in order to support the transition towards a sustainable society.

Through the composition of the consortium a unique view on the field of "Industrial Ecology" on a global, European and local level is possible. In this way, the students learn a methodologically correct approach to complex interdisciplinary issues and are introduced to specific subject areas by experts of the partner universities. Thereby, a strong emphasis is set both on research and practical problem solving applications for sustainable development. The “Erasmus Mundus Master's Programme in Industrial Ecology” takes a leading role as an interdisciplinary study programme at the highest level with an international direction. The perspectives are in particular based on the specialisations offered by partner universities. Based on the individual Bachelor education, the selected specialisations, the study stays abroad and the topic of the master thesis foster diverse perspectives in science as well as an appropriate foundation for the implementation in practice.
