Material flow analysis and resource management

This course provides the basis to understand material and energy production and consumption processes. Students learn how to develop a material flow analysis and apply it to cases of resource management. They analyze the implications of their models on resource use, economic activities and policy.

Energy supply, economics and transition

This course examines the supply of energy from various angles: available resources, how they can be combined or substituted, their private and social costs, whether they can meet the demand, and how the transition to a renewable energy system can be fostered.

Summer School Sustainability - Circular Economy

The summer school objectives are: To provide a global understanding of sustainability, and explain science and technology in this context; To communicating optimism and determination, motivating action, opening up horizons, encouraging reflection;
To promote the EPFL campus as a transition laboratory. 

Within the block of "Degrowth/post-growth economy", the highschool students learned the basics of Circular Economy, and general recommendations to move towards a more circular economy.
