Advisory Board
Research and teaching within the Department of Environmental Systems Science focus on issues of sustainable development. This requires an ongoing dialogue with partners in policy and industry.
The advisory board acts as a platform for the exchange of information about political, economic and societal developments and their relevance for research and teaching. This dialogue with stakeholders results in research relevant for implementation and application in a real world setting. Furthermore, it provides valuable inputs for the future development of both curricula.
