Develop Sustainable Nanotechnology Solutions with a Global Team
This course challenges you to co-create innovative, eco-friendly products using nanotechnology tools. Working in international and multidisciplinary teams, you’ll tackle real-world challenges with guidance from expert teachers. Your mission: to design a green product that contributes to solving society’s most pressing issues.
Why Nanotechnology?
Nanotechnology plays a pivotal role in sustainable development, offering solutions for clean water, air, soil, and energy—key pillars of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. By integrating advanced technology with a multidisciplinary approach, this course equips you with the skills to address global challenges collaboratively.
What You’ll Do:
- Focus on four key areas: Develop sustainable products targeting water purification, remediation, and reuse; air purification; soilremediation; and energy solutions.
- Apply what you learn: Use life cycle analysis and recyclability principles to design impactful solutions.
- Collaborate globally: Work in an international team to solve problems and learn to navigate cultural and time-zone differences.
Skills You’ll Gain:
Through a challenge-based learning approach, you’ll master teamwork, time management, and product development. You’ll also learn to apply academic knowledge to real-world problems, ensuring your solutions are both innovative and actionable.
