NEXUS Seminar summer term 2019

The NEXUS Seminar, the seminar series born out of the collaboration between TU Dresden and the Dresden based Institute for Integrated Management of Material Fluxes and of Resources at the United Nations University (UNU-FLORES), goes into the next round. Since 2015, the NEXUS Seminar offers scientific contributions relating to the subject of sustainable soil, water and waste management. The seminar is not only a platform for scientific exchange and cooperation between UNU-FLORES and TU Dresden but also a medium for researchers to present their research and discuss it with a broader audience.

After PRISMA - Center for Sustainability Assessment and Policy took over the coordination of the Nexus Seminar at TU Dresden in the winter semester 2018/19, we would like to inform you that the seminar is offered as an examination by students of the Master Program International Relations at Zentrum für Internationale Beziehungen, TU Dresden.
