| "Nutrition and Cancer" |
| "Is cancer partly preventable through a healthy diet? Cancer has overtaken cardiovascular disease (CVD) as the leading cause of death in many parts of the world. It causes one in eight deaths worldwide. Global trends show that the majority of all cancer deaths occur in the low- and middle-income countries. Yet, cancer can be partly prevented and many of these deaths can be avoided. Can cancer risk be reduced through a healthy diet or lifestyle? Many studies have been conducted on the role of nutrition and physical activity in cancer prevention. This has resulted in recommendations for cancer prevention. Far less research is conducted on nutrition and cancer progression, but the evidence is increasing that a healthy diet may also play a beneficial role for cancer survivors. Join this course and learn more about the role of nutrition in the occurrence and progression of cancer. You will learn how nutrition is involved in cancer occurrence, cancer treatment, and progression. And you will discover what the evidence-base is for dietary guidelines. This course focuses on a wide range of dietary exposures (including vegetables, meat, dietary supplements, alcohol) and lifestyle factors (including body composition and physical activity) in relation to the occurrence and progression of the most common types of cancer, such as large bowel cancer , breast cancer, prostate cancer, and lung cancer. This course is especially valuable for professionals (in training) from various fields related to nutrition or cancer (e.g. nutritionists, epidemiologists, health policy makers, physicians, caregivers, nutrition educators, biologists, food scientists). Dieticians and physicians often get questions from cancer patients about what they can do themselves to help their recovery process. This course is part of the Professional Certificate Program Nutrition and Disease. You will gain a solid scientific basis to better weigh and interpret all the information available on nutrition and cancer. This course, is part of theNutrition and Disease Professional Certificate Program of Wageningen University & Research. Did you already complete Nutrition, Heart Disease and Diabetes? That is the other course inthisProfessional Certificate Program."

| "Circular Economy: An Interdisciplinary Approach" |
| "Do you want to contribute to a more sustainable society? Tackle the challenges in the transition towards a circular economy? In this course you will analyse what it takes to create a circular economy including sustainable supply chains. The transition towards a circular economy is one of the biggest challenges in order to create a more sustainable society. This transition requires circular thinking and an interdisciplinary approach, combining socio-technical, managerial, and environmental considerations. Right now we design products from cradle to grave: from production to consumption to waste, which is a linear model. But we should design products from cradle to cradle: in a closed loop whereby they don't become waste, but valuable resources again. And when we start thinking in circles, we might as well try to reinvent not just supply chains, but entire systems. Because that's what we have been doing with sustainability: we have been departing from the status quo, while cradle to cradle and circular pushes us to think outside the box. Cradle to Cradle celebrates abundance; it recognizes that people, just like ants and trees, are abundant and have a large impact on their environment. The challenge is to make this impact a positive one and we invite you to join this challenge! In this course, we therefore take a systems approach to the circular economy, considering different stakeholder perspectives, their incentive structures, and their impact on circular alternatives. The circular solutions will be assessed by using applied, as well as emerging, technologies. You will learn how to use life cycle assessment and agent-based modelling to assess the socio-technical and manageable challenges and environmental benefits of alternative solutions. Join the MicroMasters programme This MOOC is part of two MicroMasters programmes, Economics and Policies for a Circular Bio-Economy and Business and Operations for a Circular Bio-Economy. Both programmes prepare you for the transition from fossil to renewable, biobased resources and consist of 3 courses and a final project; the capstone: Economics and Policies in a Biobased Economy or Business Strategy and Operations in a Biobased Economy From Fossil Resources to Biomass: a Chemistry Perspective Capstone Economics and Policies for a Circular Bio-Economy or Capstone Business and Operations for a Circular Bio-Economy"

| "Business Strategy and Operations in a Biobased Economy" |
| "“Sustainable growth business models are the beginning of a solution — they aim to optimize the use of resources and fossil energy, and to reduce waste flows and emissions (eco- efficiency). Structuring a (more) circular business model is a logical next step. A circular economy is the logical and more hands-on approach to sustainable thinking and acting. Besides a clear link to cost reduction, the principles of a circular economy have an even stronger link to value creation and innovations at system level"". From the document “Circular Economy” of the Dutch Sustainable Growth Coalition. To contribute to the bio-society in 2050 you should know what a business model of a company in the biobased and circular economy comprise of. Does it always require cross-company collaborative efforts to succeed in this sector?

| "Diseño de Estrategias Exitosas y Acciones Incontenibles" |
| "El curso está diseñado para sacar al estudiante de la fase romántica y teórica, despertándole acerca de la importancia de tomar iniciativas, riesgos y emprender acciones valientes que le permitan tomar ventaja de las diferentes situaciones que se presentan en su qué hacer. Presenta una serie de contenidos y consejos que lo convierten en una herramienta contundente para conseguir el éxito personal y/o en los negocios, permite reconocer los obstáculos, facilita decidir y actuar. La estrategia se convierte en el elemento crucial que permite a personas, empresas, instituciones y países tomar ventaja de las situaciones que enfrenta, de los recursos con los que cuenta y para eso, el curso consigue el entendimiento preciso de la situación, la concepción original de la forma en que puede tomar la ventaja sobre competidores o adversarios y cómo generar el crecimiento sostenido a lo largo del tiempo, fortalece el liderazgo haciendo énfasis en el desarrollo del estratega, quien piensa y actúa en cualquier momento como tal, para quien su objetivo además de ser efectivo es triunfar en cada batalla librada a lo largo de su vida o en la empresa. Permite analizar la forma en que toma decisiones y entiende sus limitantes, consigue que la visión sea de largo plazo y que se considere el tiempo y los recursos en general como escasos para orientarse siempre a su optimización, para ello, los modelos de estudio consideran siempre el asunto de la inversión y establece las diferencias que genera la orientación de la misma y su alineación con la estrategia primaria del negocio o del individuo, busca siempre la competitividad en su sentido más completo. Se trabaja sobre la originalidad y creatividad necesaria para conseguir que el factor sorpresa se consiga y genere ventaja. Partiendo del principio de que la estrategia se establece para el peor de los escenarios, todo el curso está basado en la realidad, en la que existe competencia y terrenos dificultosos para poder lograr los objetivos."

| "Introducción al diseño de hardware con Verilog" |
| "En la actualidad, el hardware de soporte en sistemas digitales se suele diseñar en un solo circuito integrado FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), en parte debido al abundante espacio físico que ocuparía una implementación con varios circuitos integrados dedicados para este fin. Los FPGAs son circuitos integrados digitales que pueden implementar cualquier circuito digital que el usuario desee, dado que consisten de un arreglo de dispositivos digitales (compuertas, flip-flops, etc.), una red de interconexiones y una memoria capaz de controlar las conexiones entre los dispositivos finales. La programación de un FPGA comienza con un Lenguaje de Descripción de Hardware (HDL), siendo Verilog uno de los dominantes en la industria. En este curso en línea conocerás varios aspectos básicos de Verilog, tales como su sintaxis, el paradigma concurrente de programación de hardware y simulación básica, entre otros."
