IfaS
The Institut für angewandtes Stoffstrommanagement, Fachhochschule Trier (University of applied sciences) has the short name IfaS.The aim of the IfaS is to promote the sustainable optimization of regional and operational mate-rialflows in specific and practice-oriented projects. An intelligent, resource-efficient dealing with materials and material flows constitutes the backbone of a sustainable society. The IfaS considers the optimization of material flows not so much a technical question but rather a question of management.
A thorough analysis of the actual situation, the creation of solution-finding networks, the meticulous design of technology as well as sustainable financial plans represent the most important working issues for the IfaS.
The Institute for Applied Material Flow Management is an institute based at the Environmental Campus Birkenfeld ("Umwelt-Campus Birkenfeld"), which is part of the University of Applied Sciences Trier.
The thematic focus of the IfaS centres on the following issues
-
regional use of material flows,
-
competent corporate networks,
-
material flow management in the waste disposal industry,
-
Zero Emission Village (ZEV) and
-
regional studies on value creation
With its projects, the IfaS is facing the task of creating (regional) added value through innovative management, through the development of networks and through technology-induced communication. An interdisciplinary approach combining matters of ecology, economics and society is therefore part of our philosophy as well as dynamism, flexibility and intercultural competence.
Key aspects of the IfaS’ activities concerning the part in the SEMS project
IfaS has developed a new business-oriented strategy for regional sustainable development. Within this "company 21" called strategy, RES and EE are of mayor importance. In the frame-work of SEMS, IfaS will further improve this tool.
