Knowledge Alliance on Product-Service Development towards Circular Economy and Sustainability in Higher Education

01.01.2017 - 31.12.2019
Bildungs- und Hochschulmanagementprojekt

KATCH_e focuses on the potentials of a circular economy and tries to tackle the challenge of co-creating and producing ¿utility¿ in which the possible services and performance, safety, collection, recycling and end-of-life possibilities are taken into account. In detail it focuses on the construction and furniture sector. It brings together universities, research centers and companies to cooperate in the following fields:

  • Analysis of training needs, state of the art, trends and policies on design for CE and sustainability;
  • Setting up a stakeholders network to support the transfer of knowledge and help secure the activities after the funded period;
  • Development and testing an innovative, problem-based multidisciplinary Course, a MOOC and product-service development tools for CE and sustainability;
  • Implementation of the above in academic and company contexts, creating show cases.

KATCH_e will thus contribute to the innovation of the higher education system and influence business strategies and the development of new products and services that follow circularity and sustainability principles.
