Research Unit
The Leuven Sustainable Earth Centre (LSUE) is the expertise center on the topic of sustainability at the KU Leuven. LSUE provides scientific and technological knowledge that will help to sustain natural systems and the environment, so that future generations may have access to the necessary resources. The mission of LSUE is to bring together scientists from different disciplines with a common interest in sustainable development in order to bring research, education and service to society in this domain to a higher level by capitalizing on complementary expertise and insight. The center will stimulate inter- and transdisciplinary research at the KU Leuven. LSUE groups a broad range of topics among others in the research domains of geo- and ecosystems, soil, water, land, sea, climate, biodiversity, ecosystem services, materials, sustainable production processes, development policy and environmental policy.
