Biography

Ester van der Voet is a Professor of Sustainable Resource Use with the Faculty of Science of Leiden University, at the Department Industrial Ecology of the Institute of Environmental Sciences (CML). Within the field of Industrial Ecology, she specialises in methodology development: material flow analysis, substance flow analysis, natural resource accounting, life cycle assessment, and indicator development. These methodologies she applies to different topical areas, specifically sustainable resource use and resource management, resource efficiency, the circular economy, and the biobased economy. She has initiated three MSc programs: the MSc Industrial Ecology, now a joint degree program between Leiden University and TU Delft, and two international programs of Leiden, Delft, Graz University, Chalmers University and NTNU: MIND and CIRCLE. She has conducted and led many research projects, for the Dutch government, for the EU and in other international consortia. She is a member of the UN International Resource Panel.
