Dr. Jan Streeck is a researcher at the Institute for Social Ecology (SEC) within the Department of Economic and Social Sciences at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna (BOKU). His work focuses on socio-economic metabolism, circular economy, and material flow analysis, particularly examining how material stocks and flows relate to planetary boundaries and decent living standards. He has collaborated on global-scale projects modeling resource use patterns across 177 countries from 1900 to 2016.

• Key research areas: Resource use, circular economy, socio-economic metabolism, material flow accounting
• Recent publications emphasize material stock dynamics, supply chain footprints, and low-carbon transitions

Streeck leads projects like 'A dignified life for all within planetary boundaries' and contributes to tools like the MESSAGEix-Materials model. His work bridges academic research and practical policy analysis through collaborations with institutions like Metabolic Amsterdam and the Fraunhofer Institute.
