dr.ir. M.C. van den Berg (Marc)

Marc van den Berg develops circular urban mining futures. His research line uncovers innovative (de)construction practices that enable reuse, now and in the future. He thereby rethinks the existing built environment as an urban mine where waste becomes a resource. His research explores the profound implications for managing such resource flows; from the information needs of demolition contractors to the challenges that designers face in applying circularity. Marc likes collaborating with a wide range of parties along the reverse value chain to develop actionable circularity transition pathways for tomorrow.

PACER (Collaborative, Digitalized and Integral Processes to Achieve Circular and Emission-Free Renovation)

2023-2028

Renovation projects are complex and multi-objective design challenges, that are characterized by intensive decision-making and organizational activities concerning a building’s future. Such projects uniquely connect a variety of otherwise fragmented disciplines. Crucial for fostering more circular renovation practices with lower emissions is the availability of accurate, timely and concise information on supply chains and material flows and optimal design strategies which take into account multiple perspectives of value creation from different stakeholders. This is what PACER (Collaborative, Digitized and Integral Processes to Achieve Circular and Emission-Free Renovation) will provide by developing collaborative, digitized and integral processes and tools and legal and economic frameworks to achieve circular and emission free renovation practices.
Fieldlabs@Scale: Towards effective collaborative experimentation for mission-driven innovation

2023-2028

Fieldlabs are emerging as a promising approach to mission-driven innovation. They bring together regional stakeholders—including business and knowledge institutes—to collaboratively experiment with solutions for societal challenges. Their effectiveness remains mixed as they face problems in scaling such innovative solutions in business ecosystems. Involving a broad, interdisciplinary consortium, Fieldlabs@Scale studies fieldlabs in agriculture, healthcare, infrastructure, and smart industry. We develop new theories on mechanisms for collaborative experimentation and co-create a toolkit and Fieldlab Academy programmes alongside policymakers, regional network organisations, and fieldlab participants in our consortium, to support fieldlabs in accelerating mission-driven innovation and generate economic and societal value.
