Wageningen University & Research

The ESA group (Environmental Systems Analysis) of Wageningen University & Research studies environmental problems by exploring, mapping, modelling and communicating their causes, mechanisms, effects and potential solutions. Quantitative, qualitative, multi- and transdisciplinary research is combined and knowledge from natural, social and engineering sciences is integrated. ESA plays a key role in the study programmes Environmental Sciences, Urban Environmental Management, Climate Studies and Tourism. Moreover, ESA is responsible for various multi- and interdisciplinary courses of the international BSc programme Environmental Sciences (BES) and contributes to BES courses coordinated by other chair groups. The number of BES students has increased enormously over the last years. This increasing number of students provide the opportunity to hire a new lecturer.
