LDE Centre for Sustainability and Medical Delta are joining forces again in their mission to make healthcare more sustainable.
Topics and theses
Last year, we challenged students to identify what steps can be taken today to make a hospital more environmentally sustainable. This year, we are pushing the challenge further. We are broadening our scope to the whole health care sector, looking beyond hospital walls. Knowing the steps that can be taken today, why are these not taken? What are the barriers, risks but also the opportunities in sustainable health care? We challenge you to write a call to action for hospital boards. What actions can hospital boards take to start their journey towards sustainable healthcare? The main question is:
What steps can be taken today to make healthcare more environmentally sustainable for our future?
The Thesis Lab on Sustainable Healthcare gives you the opportunity as a master student to explore sustainability challenges with the guidance of experts in the field. We provide in-depth lectures and site-visits to deepen your knowledge and perspective. Your collaboration with peers will speed up the learning process. The aim of this thesis lab is to recommend solutions for relevant stakeholders. Therefore, your work will lead to real impact on a more sustainable healthcare sector.
In this thesis lab, we run a pilot program in collaboration with Hogeschool Rotterdam and admit its students as well.
Enrolment for the academic year 2023-2024 is closed.
