Dutch Research Agenda

NWA - Transition to a circular and emission-free building industry

This thematic programme of the Dutch Research Agenda (NWA) focuses on realising breakthroughs and developing action perspectives that contribute to the transition of the construction sector, and to renovation projects in particular.

The building sector faces considerable challenges in the coming decades. In 2050, the built environment must not only be emission-free, but also circular. The aim of the 'Transition to a circular and emission-free building industry' programme is to realise breakthroughs and develop action perspectives that contribute to the transition of the building industry, and to 'renovation projects' in particular.

The programme focuses on existing buildings and invites interdisciplinary consortia to investigate how buildings can be renovated in a circular and emission-free manner by studying a concrete case at the street or neighbourhood level. Societal and technical perspectives of circular and emission-free construction are jointly included.
