Building a new world from Limburg
If we want to live comfortably on this planet for a long time to come, we need to change things we currently take for granted. Our economy needs to be circular, our energy supply sustainable, and our lifestyle different.
At Maastricht University, we investigate how we can shape and realise that circular, sustainable future — with citizens, businesses, regional partners, and society as a whole. We all need to come together to create a new, sustainable model.
Explore our current research and education on sustainability and circularity and discover how you can contribute to finding tomorrow's answers.

Embracing secondhand
In a world that revolves around ‘new and more’ (buy more, eat more, consume more), it can be challenging to feel happy with less or secondhand. That is exactly what we need to combat climate change. Nancy Bocken, professor of Sustainable Business, investigates how we can build an economy where ‘secondhand’ becomes the new goal.
