addressing global challenges through a blend of economics, technology, and sustainability
principles. It focuses on equipping students with skills to tackle pressing issues such as resource
scarcity, energy challenges, the transition to a sustainable production, circular economies, and
strategies to identify and economically valorize sustainability implementations, and the socio-political aspects of sustainability and its realization. Interdisciplinary classes in both economic and natural sciences cover planetary resources, renewable and non-renewable resource economics,
environmental economics, sustainable production technologies, concepts of energy generation and
storage, carbon neutrality and carbon negativity, waste valorization strategies, sustainability
identification, certification systems, sustainability-driven strategies for businesses, socio-political
possibilities for implementing sustainability across societies in a changing world.

professionals capable of *bridging economic and technological solutions for sustainable
development within private companies, public sectors and as consultant.*

have a strong foundation in fields like basic microeconomics and macroeconomics, statistics,
general biology and chemistry, and general geology. The curriculum blending socio-economic and
scientific perspectives aims at fostering innovation in realizing sustainability in all key areas of
modern societies. Graduates, entering the world of work as “Sustainability Specialists” or “Tech-
