Research
Research at our faculty is organised around one core question: How do societies change, and how can this change be shaped?
Our research work is structured across three interconnected science teams:
-
Circular Economy (CE) focuses on the mechanisms of individual, business and institutional transitions needed to achieve a carbon-neutral society.
-
Governance & Technology (GT) combines technological innovation with governance research on steering transitions toward equity and security.
-
Sustainability & Wellbeing (SW) identifies what is changing in relation to climate crisis and biodiversity loss, and concrete solutions for health, wellbeing and social justice.
Together, these teams form an integrated, interdisciplinary research environment addressing the key dimensions of societal transitions, from environmental sustainability, and economic systems to technological developments, health, wellbeing, and governance.
Our research evolves in response to societal challenges and is developed in collaboration with businesses, local governments, NGOs and other knowledge institutes. By generating knowledge that is both analytical and actionable, we contribute to academic understanding while informing policy, practice, and innovation.
