2 Years ago, 1 month after starting my new job, 3 month after finishing my studies, it was clear for me that I wanted to go back to academia. I set up myself to gain a bit of experience and look for a new job.

Now, It is clearer.

The research question is

How to foster social innovation through sustainable behaviour and/or the re-use and remanufacture of household waste?
