Wouter Spekkink is postdoctoral researcher at Delft University of Technology. He works on the Glamurs project full time since January 2015 and is involved mainly in WP4 and WP5. Before starting in this position, Wouter Spekkink was a PhD student at the Erasmus University Rotterdam. His PhD thesis is on the process through which governments, companies, knowledge institutes and other relevant actors build up the capacity to engage in industrial symbiosis, a process in which firms engage in the exchange of by-products that were previously discarded as wastes.
