On this study trip, we will visit three leading ‘eco-tech’ cities in the Netherlands to explore the latest strategies in ecological and ethical management, branding, sustainability, and explore the related aesthetic, economic and cultural impacts. Rotterdam is the largest port in Europe and a vibrant city, emphasizing innovative approaches to sustainability, energy efficiency, and eco-friendly practices. Eindhoven is considered the Dutch version of Silicon Valley, with many global firms headquartered there. Delft is a living museum of Dutch history and culture, and home to the  world-renowned Delft University of Technology.
