Delta Challenges
Delta Challenges
Part of the Environment & Sustainability Cluster.

Delta Challenges encourages you to think about creating sustainable solutions for life in vulnerable coastal regions. You will explore how communities can build with nature, manage rising water levels, and transition to a circular economy. Through case studies, fieldwork, and hands-on projects in Zeeland, you’ll learn how engineering, ecology, and policy come together to address climate and resource challenges. This field prepares you to think critically and act responsibly in shaping resilient futures for delta regions worldwide.
