Bern University of Applied Sciences (BFH) is Switzerland's largest university of applied sciences, with strong applied research and close ties to industry. Within the School of Engineering and Computer Science, the research group MISE works on circular economy and sustainability. It covers environmental and social life cycle assessment, (dynamic) material flow analysis, system dynamics simulation, data engineering and digital product passports, and transdisciplinary co-creation with industry, authorities and civil society. Our applied fields include renewable energy (reuse and recycling of solar PV), construction, MedTech, watch manufacturing and precision engineering, and agri-food value chains. Switzerland is associated to Horizon Europe, so BFH receives full funding as a partner.
