The University of Borås to start two new cutting-edge programmes in Resource Recovery

03/12/2024 University of Borås
The construction and logistics industry are two sectors where new legal requirements for sustainable development are high on the agenda, together with their need to become resource-efficient. In the autumn 2025, the University of Borås is starting two completely new Master’s programmes in Resource Recovery to meet the needs of these industries: the Master's Programme in Resource Recovery – Sustainable Civil Engineering and the Master's Programme in Resource Recovery – AI-Enhanced Management of Supply Chains.

These Master's programmes have international admission and are taught in English. This means that their students will come from different international backgrounds, which adds an important dimension to the areas highlighted in the programmes.
The focus of the Master's Programme in Resource Recovery – Sustainable Civil Engineering is circular design and the optimisation of material utilisation and energy efficiency. These are new areas of competency that the construction industry needs both nationally and internationally. This programme allows for a progression from the Bachelor’s to the Master’s level. Together with the university’s doctoral programme in Resource Recovery, this means a complete academic environment in Civil Engineering.
The Master’s Programme in Resource Recovery – AI Enhanced Supply Chain Management, combines resource recovery and supply chain management using artificial intelligence (AI) to improve decision-making and efficiency.
This programme will meet the growing demands for sustainable development and traceability in supply chains. The focus of the programme is on creating sustainable and competitive production systems by optimising supply chains and the use of AI tools to analyse and design complex systems. It highlights the need for improved decision support to handle the complexity that characterises modern industrial processes. By integrating AI and Supply Chain Management, innovative solutions are created for sustainable production and resource efficiency.
The need is driven by sustainability requirements where businesses and society need to reduce waste and make resource use more efficient, stricter demands to track products and materials through the supply chain, as well as the development of AI to solve complex logistical and industrial challenges. For research, it opens new avenues for linking sustainability and technology with practical application in industry.

Testimonials

For well over a decade, in my capacity as a researcher, broadcaster, and producer, I have relied heavily on Alphagalileo.
All of my work trips have been planned around stories that I've found on this site.
The under embargo section allows us to plan ahead and the news releases enable us to find key experts.
Going through the tailored daily updates is the best way to start the day. It's such a critical service for me and many of my colleagues.
Koula Bouloukos, Senior manager, Editorial & Production Underknown
We have used AlphaGalileo since its foundation but frankly we need it more than ever now to ensure our research news is heard across Europe, Asia and North America. As one of the UK’s leading research universities we want to continue to work with other outstanding researchers in Europe. AlphaGalileo helps us to continue to bring our research story to them and the rest of the world.
Peter Dunn, Director of Press and Media Relations at the University of Warwick
AlphaGalileo has helped us more than double our reach at SciDev.Net. The service has enabled our journalists around the world to reach the mainstream media with articles about the impact of science on people in low- and middle-income countries, leading to big increases in the number of SciDev.Net articles that have been republished.
