"A daunting task lies ahead for scientists and engineers to guide society toward environmentally sustainable management during the era of the Anthropocene."
This quote by Nobel laureate Paul Crutzen is at the beginning of the new book #CircularEconomy by the TUM Senior Excellence Faculty and makes it clear that our society is facing profound changes. More than ever, our entrepreneurial courage is needed for change, for a new sense of responsibility and for sustainable action.
The book "Circular Economy" was published in May 2022 by TUM.University Press, it summarizes the results of a symposium of the same name in summer 2021, which was organized as part of our TUM Forum Sustainability. Experts from science and industry worked out recommendations for action in a multi-stage process but also identified a need for research.
The editors of the book include the former Dean of the TUM School of Management (TUM SoM) Prof. Ralf Reichwald, Professor of Circular Economy at the TUM SoM Prof. Magnus Fröhling, Science Manager Dr. Birgit Herbst-Gaebel, former professor of water quality and waste technology Prof. Peter Wilderer, and speaker of the TUM Senior Excellence Faculty and director of TUM Institute for Advanced Studie Prof. Michael Molls.
The interdisciplinary group of "Emeriti of Excellence" forms the TUM Senior Excellence Faculty. Its members can look back on many years of research, teaching and organizational activities.
