Since 2006, Christian Schulz holds a professorship in European Sustainable Spatial Development and Analysis at the University of Luxembourg.
He studied geography in Saarbrücken (Germany), Québec (Canada) and Metz (France). After his PhD (1997, University of the Saarland) he moved to the University of Cologne (Germany) where he finished his habilitation thesis in 2004, dealing with environmental producer services and knowledge transfer in the manufacturing sector.
His research foci are in the fields of regional governance in Europe and of environmental economic geography. With Boris Braun (Cologne), he recently co-authored a textbook on Economic Geography (UTB, Stuttgart, 2012). He currently works on energy transitions (e.g. related to green building) and on the challenges and opportunities of post-growth dynamics for economic geography.
