Delta Climate Center

Weather and climate are changing. This is noticeable worldwide, also in delta areas such as Zeeland. Think about sea level rise, salinization, drought, and changes in biodiversity. Major sustainability challenges - in the areas of energy, nitrogen and nature - also have major impact on our living environment. The DCC develops knowledge and innovations to keep delta areas safe and flourishing.

Welcome to the Delta Climate Center

The Delta Climate Center contributes to safe, sustainable and prosperous delta regions. We conduct reseach, develop educational programmes and collaborate closely with companies, societal organisations, governments and citizens. With Zeeland as our living lab, we aim to help realise innovative solutions for future-proof deltas worldwide.

The Delta Climate Center is a unique partnership between Scalda, HZ University of Applied Sciences, University College Roosevelt, Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research, Utrecht University, and Wageningen University & Research.

Education

Knowledge institutions such as Scalda, HZ University of Applied Sciences, University College Roosevelt, NIOZ Marine Research, Utrecht University, and Wageningen University & Research have established the Delta Climate Center. They are working on new courses, specializations, innovative collaborations, and a Lifelong Development program. Special attention is given to linking secondary education, higher education, and academic education through a joint learning line. Within the Delta Climate Center, students from various study programs collaborate on transitions in a delta region facing a changing climate, with a focus on food, water, and energy. This strengthens both the position of knowledge institutions and the labor market in Zeeland.
