Project courses within Sentio at Lund University offer students the opportunity to engage in a focused challenge related to sensor technologies and sustainable manufacturing over a shorter time span, typically 3–7 weeks. These projects are smaller in both timeframe and scope than full Master’s thesis projects, but still count as formal academic courses with defined learning outcomes, supervision,

Alternative organising beyond resource efficiency “Plastics in a circular society” (funded by Formas, 2021–2026) explores initiatives that directly confront unsustainable plastic practices, transforming the ways we produce, use, discard and govern plastics, as well as relate to this material altogether. We study multiple solutions that these initiatives bring in to address the plastic crisis, how

This map shows the alternative initiatives which have been identified in the first step of "Plastics in a circular society" project. You can filter the list according to the lifecycle of plastics (production, (re)use, (post)discard, governance). Please note that this map is still being finalised and that we do not guarantee its accuracy. If you notice any need for adjustments, please do not hesita

"Reduce, reuse, redesign: Lund University as a testbed for tackling the plastic crisis" (funded by Lund University Sustainability Fund, 2024–2025) was a hands-on project where we joined forces with Plastikfreie Stadt (Plastic-Free City) to identify solutions for limiting reliance on single-use plastics at Lund University. It was conducted in three steps:1. Existing practicesWe identified existing
