PROJECTS & NETWORKS
We love connecting people with purpose
DiCE Lab is a collaborative initiative of scholars from TU Delft and ETH Zurich, dedicated to connecting researchers and practitioners tackling the challenges of the twin transitions. DiCE Lab not only organizes regular online and in-person events but also actively fosters connections and knowledge exchange among experts across disciplines. By creating a vibrant network, we aim to accelerate innovation and impact in both research and practice.
Digital Product Passports (DPPs) are rapidly gaining significance across all sectors for sustainable management of product data. With the European Union set to implement legislation mandating DPPs, this initiative becomes even more critical, bringing together academic researchers from diverse fields to align their projects, foster collaborative opportunities, and facilitate cross-industry knowledge exchange.
Our group meets online for bi-monthly sessions, creating a dynamic platform for sharing insights and driving innovation in the evolving DPP landscape. This initiative is led by Dr. Sultan Cetin.
For more information or to get involved, please contact s.cetin@tudelft.nl and check our upcoming meetups on "Events" page.
Digital Product Passports Academic Network
This network has evolved organically following our casual meetups. We have previously focused on topics highly relevant to the built environment, namely, data templates, material passports and ecosystems for circular construction.
The series of meetups are organized by Dr. Sultan Çetin, Dr. Deepika Raghu and PhD(c) Anna Batalle Garcia.
Digital Circular Built Environment Network
The Chair of Circular Engineering for Architecture (CEA) develops research on matching reused architectural materials & projects through digitalization for circularity. Building design projects are often complex, multi-variant problems addressed by numerous parties working in separate silos. The construction industry can learn from other sectors about adopting digital technologies and circular strategies. Automating the reuse of materials in architecture can fill this gap by connecting actors across the value chain. More information can be found here.

The Library of Reuse is created to collect, share, and advance knowledge on how building materials can be identified, removed, stored, and reused to promote more sustainable approaches in architecture, engineering, and construction. The platform serves as a resource to support the adoption of circular strategies in the built environment, highlighting pioneers in the construction industry.

The Circular Built Environment (CBE) Hub is a collaborative initiative within the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment at TU Delft, bringing together around 70 researchers and educators from its four departments.
The Hub serves as a platform to foster synergies across disciplines, facilitating collaboration and knowledge exchange to advance circularity in the built environment. By integrating diverse expertise, the CBE Hub aims to develop and promote innovative strategies that support the transition toward a more sustainable, resource-efficient, and circular built environment.

Delft Circularity Initiative, TU Delft
As part of the 2023 Innosuisse Flagship Call, the project SWIRCULAR is set to revolutionize Switzerland's construction landscape. The project's core focus lies in the collaborative development of legal, business, and technical innovations. Through this comprehensive approach, SWIRCULAR aims to take a transformative shift towards a circular construction sector, playing a pivotal role in Switzerland's journey towards a net-zero future.
