The STEN group‘s computational lab

The STEN group and its competencies

University building in Ghent

Ghent University has a strong record in raw materials research and education. The Sustainable Systems Engineering (STEN) research group focuses on the study of sustainability aspects, using life cycle thinking and sustainability analysis. Its main role in the RecyLIB project will lead to the socio-environmental sustainability assessment of the (re)manufacturing and recycling technologies.Your contact person for requests about the project – name will be published on the website
