This project seeks to make sharing and repairing a natural part of urban life. Despite their potential to drive a circular economy and reduce emissions, repairing and sharing practices remain underutilized in Dutch cities. Let's change that together.

Amsterdam Zuidoost aims to be energy neutral by 2040. This requires systemic change. Not only on a technical – but also on a social level. Therefore, the Energy Lab Zuidoost brings together stakeholders & scientific expertise from different disciplines.

Smart planning for energy demand and supply. This will be tested via a smart energy exchange platform in the area of Amsterdam ArenApoort. The result: an electricity grid-friendly and community inclusive innovation to contribute to the energy transition.

80.000 bikes get stolen each year, just in Amsterdam. This outcome made our researchers curious... Where do these bikes go? How do they move? That's when they came up with the idea to place 100 locked GPS-traceable bikes in Amsterdam.

The environmental impact of road constructions is large. For Amsterdam to reach the city’s policy goals in circularity and climate change, re-using concrete pavers is crucial. This project investigates the impact for different circular scenarios.
