Overview
About
SDU Life Cycle Engineering focuses on education and research contributing to global sustainability
Creating a sustainable future requires a holistic insight and understanding of the long-term interactions of technologies and systems with the world on a global scale. Our goal is to develop the knowledge and methods for achieving this insight. It is important to us, that the right solutions are available for decision makers, when planning the construction, maintenance, operation, recycling and end-of-life management of infrastructure, agriculture systems, and industrial processes and systems for our future.
