Together with partner universities, TU Delft has launched a new MOOC (massive open online course) 'Circular Economy - Sustainable Materials Management'. The course is currently open for enrollment (for free), and will begin on 12th November, 2018.

From 24 to 26 October 2018, the SusCritMat Autumn School will take place at the TU Delft, Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment. Registration possible until 7 September.

Nederland moet zich voor 2050 ontwikkelen naar een volledig circulaire economie. Maar wat betekent dat, kan het überhaupt en waar lopen we tegenaan indien we dit willen bereiken? Daar gaat de onlangs verschenen publicatie ‘Circulariteit - op weg naar 2050?’ over.

In the framework of the BauHow5 initiative, a two-day event on Approaches to Circularity was held on 11 – 12 June 2018.

In her PhD project RE4HAB, Anne van Stijn will develop circular renovation solutions for the late post-war social housing stock in the Netherlands.

Tijdens de Week van de Circulaire Economie presenteren promovendi van de Faculteit Bouwkunde de circulaire aspecten van hun lopend onderzoek en gaan zij hierover in gesprek met de praktijk.

While circular economy policies and initiatives are gaining momentum, their spatial implications remain largely unexplored. The third debate in the 'Making the Circular Built Environment a Reality' debate series focuses on the spatial dimensions of the circular economy. The Circular Built Environment Hub invites institutes, organisations and individuals to participate in this interactive session that aims to identify spatial conflicts, synergies, and potentials, paving the way for a future Circular Netherlands.

Op 14 december vindt het symposium 'Architecture and Doughnut Economics' plaats.

Op 5 december verdedigt Tanya Tsui haar proefschrift 'Spatial approaches to a circular economy: Determining locations and scales of closing material loops using geographic data'.

Op 18 december verdedigt Sultan Çetin Öztürk haar proefschrift 'Towards a Circular Building Industry Through Digitalisation: Exploring how digital technologies can help narrow, slow, close, and regenerate the loops in social housing practice'.
