Its various study streams and research activities fall into six faculties: Design and Fine Arts; Business, Management and Services; Engineering and Architecture; Music and Performing Arts; Health; and Social Work.

Data technologies, data ecosystems and cross-linking

Data ecosystems for the realisation of circular value creation exploiting the full potential of digitalisation – e.g., harnessing existing, purpose-built platform solutions.(AI based) recognition systems (e.g. image recognition) to evaluate materials, components and products and determine the best use paths(AI based) process and system control technologiesSimulation models and predictive analytics to assess the scalability of circular processes across industriesAlgorithm that shows the (positive) impact of a Circular Economy process or Circular Economy product

Other enabling technologies

Manufacturing and machine learning, e.g., to increase the flexibility of industrial processes, modular approaches, reduce use of materials, quality assurance and certification of products)AI-driven diagnostic systems, e.g., for assessing the viability of reused, remanufactured, and recycled componentsIndustry 4.0 technologies (IoT, big data analytics) for monitoring and managing circular value chains(Advanced/smart) Sensors, e.g., enabling materials, components and product flows measurementRobotic / handling - and assistance systems(Advanced) Materials and additive manufacturingLife cycle assessment / Product life cycle management – e.g., Digital Twin / Digital Product PassportReverse Manufacturing (e.g. adaptive automation for high variance, sorting, sophisticated logistic systems)Tools and solutions addressing challenges emerging from product focused regulations (such as the ESPR)
