Editor

A Universidade de Wageningue está situada em Wageningue, nos Países Baixos. O seu campus está situado na periferia da cidade, o que lhe permite planear numerosas extensões das suas instalações, todas elas já ultramodernas, devido ao seu carácter científico. A universidade centra-se nas ciências da vida, na sociologia, nas relações empresariais e nos recursos naturais.

Em particular, a Universidade acolhe o Instituto Alterra para a investigação multidisciplinar sobre o ambiente artificial e antrópico (ambiente rural, ecologia urbana, espaços verdes, teias verdes).
