"Our model, dependent on increasingly scarce materials, leads us to seek more sustainable solutions over time, as well as less harmful to the environment. In this Mini, we speak with Mario Sabater, a colleague at Leiden University, about how the design process guided by environmental impact tools can alleviate the major challenges of tomorrow."

In this mini we learn a little bit more about Microplastics with our two colleagues – Jacopo De Leo and Varun Ravikumar. We discuss their typology and origin with the intention to bring some light to the topic and how our daily life activities are closely related to this environmental problem.

This May in Brussels we conquered the house of European Democracy with the proclamation of going “beyond growth”, of shifting from GDP to well-being, from nature colonisation to ecosystem harmony. In light of the current economic and governance paradigm, and motivated by the transformative power of community engagement, we present this editorial-style Mini to share our perspective. Our aim is to p...

Can growth be considered "green"? Is it possible to continue growing in a world with finite resources? How does economic activity affect the environment and people? This Mini explores the most popular currents - green growth vs. degrowth - with the aim of answering these questions. Additionally, this chapter serves as an introduction to our series on environmental economics and beyond gr...

Continuing our discussion on sustainable agriculture, we had a delightful conversation with Professor Maarten Schrama from Leiden University. During this episode, we delve into the obstacles and possibilities involved in transitioning to this new way of farming and we need from everyone to make this transition together.

In this mini - two of our peers discuss their research in the Netherlands and Morocco. We discuss greenhouse technology, the benefits and the challenges - a 3D view on intentions technology sharing schemes. We had a couple of audio issues with this recording so please bear with us 🧡

Food production is responsible for over 25% of global emissions. We hear all the time that the way we conduct agriculture isn’t sustainable, but what exactly is up with agriculture? And more importantly, how can we use our knowledge of these problems to come up with nature based solutions? Join us, alongside Andreea Nanu for part 1 of our Regenerative Agriculture series and learn about how your un...

In our first "mini" episode (we promise that we tried to make it short)  with the help of our friend and collegue Clara Payró we adress the question of which plant-based milk alternative is the best for the environment. The answer is not straighforward, however we bring enough interesting information for you to spend a little more time in the supermarket trying to decide what to buy.

Not another greenwash podcast. Let's ease into sustainability with some debates around what greenwashing is and give you some helpful tips on how to become greenwash resistant. 

Not another green trailer. In fact, it’s not a trailer at all (it’s far too long for that). It’s a chance to meet the new hosts and get a little taste of what’s to come. Don’t expect to learn anything from this episode, but do expect excitement overload for future releases 🎈

Hereby another sip of (iced) tea to welcome the summer season. In this fourth episode of the series Tea with IE, we have our first first-year interviewed! Hajar makes a great guest and shares with us interesting stories and perspectives about what keeps her motivated and realistic (rather than optimistic), her background and experience in the biggest solar facility of Morocco and her impresive lan...

Industrial Ecologists are wanted! What a nice lesson of this episode and especially comforting for all current IE students! In this episode we not only celebrate our study but also learn about the work as a consultant, discuss job perspectives and meaning in a job, but also discuss how to not loose hope and become cynical in this climate crisis. Join Maurizia and David for this intriguing episode....

In this episode, our guest brings a very interesting and relevant topic to the table: climate psychology. Catrin and Maurizia talk to Gerdien de Vries, an environmental psychologist from TU Delft, about behavioural barriers for individual change in the sustainability and energy transitions, and the difference between climate and environmental psychology. Find out what the hassle factor is, what ro...
