Innovation Management - Mastertrack Sustainability Transitions Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e)

Overview

On the Innovation Management - Mastertrack Sustainability Transitions programme from Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) you will learn how to engage with the challenging process of transitioning towards sustainability. Many actors are involved – from firms to NGOs and from policymakers to civil society – and must navigate complex trade-offs and controversies that arise along the way.
