Sustainable Innovation

In Sustainable Innovation you study innovations from a technological, economic and societal perspective, to enable society at large to consume and produce in a sustainable way. A society with sustainable consumption and production. That's the ambition of students of the Sustainable Innovation major.This major focuses on the introduction of new sustainable technologies in society, for example in energy supplies and the built environment. Introducing new technologies always involves a number of players: government, industry, social groups and knowledge institutes, as well as consumers. In Sustainable Innovation you consider a problem from the viewpoint of these different players. Just look at the introduction of solar panels: that involves much more than technology alone. Factors like costs, regulations and social acceptance are also important. https://youtu.be/r55jWYf-JbE
