Wageningen University & Research

Wageningen University & Research is one of the founding partners of AMS Institute. Together with Delft University of Technology and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology we form the academic heart of AMS Institute.

We strongly believe in finding answers together with our partners. Our strategic plan is to call upon new and existing partners, students, alumni and citizens to explore with us the potential of nature, to participate in defining and understanding the challenges facing us, to engage in discussing and navigating trade-offs, and to work with us on evidence-based and socially inclusive answers that drive transitions.

By participating in AMS Institute we enable ourselves to do so in the metropolitan living lab environment of Amsterdam.

“To explore the potential of nature to improve the quality of life”

Mission of Wageningen University & Research

The strength of Wageningen University & Research lies in its ability to join the forces of specialised research institutes and the university. It also lies in the combined efforts of the various fields of natural and social sciences.

The focus domains of Wageningen University & Research consists of three related core areas:

  • Food and food production
  • Living environment
  • Health, lifestyle and livelihood

Project

LogiCELL: Living Lab Circular Logistics

Circularity in Urban Regions

Logistics for a circular economy have proven to be a challenge. Using the Living Lab methodology, we aim to solve problems that hinder reuse and recycling in logistics. We facilitate field labs to accelerate circular initiatives in Amsterdam.
