Noortje Schrauwen

Noortje Schrauwen obtained her M.Sc. in industrial ecology from University of Leiden and Delft University of Technology. She has been focusing on sustainable development in which a systematic approached is used, incorporating social changes and innovation, sustainable technologies and solutions, with an understanding of the real effects on the environment. Having a background in sociology and anthropology, she has a special interest in sustainability in developing countries, in particular solving energy issues and improving living conditions and the way the environment is affected. Combining her social background and her technical master, she finds the meeting point of engineering and the social world interesting, and enjoys looking for bridges to build, to innovate and find solutions to current day issues.
