We generate millions of tonnes of waste every day. Poor waste management has negative environmental, economic, and social effects that impact on everyone’s life. We can’t eliminate all waste, but we can minimize it by finding new ways to use old things, designing sustainable processes and systems that help to reduce waste, and changing the way in which we understand consumption and waste. The village theme encourages participants to explore all or any of these aspects as a way of creating economic and social value. (AM500218)

The village is about the complex interplay between technology, people, and the context around it. Issues in this broader context therefore require an interdisciplinary approach and the village is open to students from different fields of study (e.g., design, computer science, communication technology and other technology fields, arts and humanities, social and behavioural sciences, …) (TTM4850)
