A circular economy is a system where materials never become waste and nature is regenerated, providing a solution towards sustainable consumption and development. As a scholarship recipient for the Erasmus Mundus' International Joint Master's Programme, I combine natural, social and technical sciences to analyse complex problems reated to sustainable development and design solutions and implementation strategies.

Atiqah is very knowledgeable and has a helpful personality. With her good communication skills, she is a strong team player who is also highly enthusiastic and not afraid to step up to challenges. Through her, I obtained more insights and knowledge on the SDG goals, and gained experience on tools for measuring alignment of project outcomes with SDG goals.
