3. Vision & Mission Research chair Sustainable Energy Systems
Contribute to:
Acceleration of technology development,
Application and implementation,
Accelaration of societal adoptation…
… to reach a 100% sustainable energy and circular material supply within the Eastern part of the Netherlands within the context of the (inter)national energy and material transition.
Sustainability transition: reduction of fossil based fuels and mined materials.
We see this as a necessary movement for the survival of mankind on the longer term.
We emphasize the development of technology for society as enabler for the sustainable transition and we educate students to become professionals which are able to play a leading role within the transition.
