A sustainable TU Delft
Tuesday 8 June 2021 from 20:00 - 21:30 (CEST)
TU Delft takes climate action very seriously. This is evident from its recently established Climate Action Programme and from its goal to be carbon neutral and circular by 2030. In his role as Sustainability Coordinator, Andy van den Dobbelsteen has been tasked with overseeing the sustainable transition of the TU Delft campus. He will not just tackle the energy system and buildings, but also travel, food, procurement, waste management, IT, green and water on the campus. Andy will present TU Delft’s vision, ambitions and action plan to achieve this transition which will make TU Delft the climate university of the world and its campus an innovative living lab for a sustainable, smart city.
