Responsible Consumption and Production
Do you want to create effective and responsible innovations?
The European University on Responsible Consumption and Production (EURECA-PRO) has developed this interdisciplinary, pan-European study programme, which offers the opportunity to acquire specialisations abroad. Completing your specialisation will strengthen your technical and management skills, as well as enhance your ability to work in teams to develop sustainable solutions. Your studies combine engineering, innovation, consumer behaviour and business knowledge, preparing you for developing sustainable products and production
processes — from raw materials to recycling — with a strong focus on minimising resources and environmental impact. This programme guides you towards careers in engineering, research, sustainability, and product development, among others.
How is our consumption changing the world? And how can we achieve responsible production?
The Bachelor’s programme in New Science and Technology combines management and technology, covering the fundamentals of engineering, natural sciences, business administration, energy and materials science. You are able to not only participate in international summer schools, but also spend one semester studying at one of our eight EURECA-PRO partner universities. While there, you will develop a holistic perspective on sustainable development and gain insight into consumer behaviour as a driver of technological and social change. In this way, you will learn to actively shape responsibility in the areas of production and consumption.
>>A sustainable world is not a limitation. It is the greatest design challenge of our generation. And we accept it.<<

Breakthrough Technologies
Do you want to create effective and responsible innovations?
The European University on Responsible Consumption and Production – EURECA-PRO has developed this interdisciplinary, pan-European study programme, awarding a EURECA-PRO joint or double degree. Completing your specialisation will strengthen your technical and management skills, as well as enhance your ability to work in international teams and develop
sustainable solutions. Your studies combine fundamentals of engineering, including novel technologies and safety systems in the fields of Space Technology, Cyber Security and Resilience, preparing you for developing innovative products and robust production processes — from earth resources to resilient space innovations. This programme leads to careers in engineering, manufacturing, advanced materials design, and safety communication, among others.
How is our consumption changing the world? And how can we achieve responsible production?
The Bachelor’s programme in New Science and Technology combines safety systems and technology, covering the fundamentals of engineering, space, defence and resilience strategies, energy and materials science. You are able to not only participate in international summer schools, but also spend one year studying at a EURECA-PRO partner university.
While there, you will develop a holistic perspective on sustainable development and gain insight into novel industries and safety systems, becoming the driving force of technological and social change. As a result, you will focus on responsible production and work towards breakthrough technological transformations.
