The research area aims to create sustainable and resilient societies by developing frameworks, methods, tools, and technology for transitions, with a focus on overarching societal planning in energy, transport, and the built environment on various levels.
Through an inter- and transdisciplinary approach, different future scenarios are developed and explored, while transformative challenges within critical societal systems are highlighted. This enables support for robust, long-term decision-making processes and governance models that enhance the ability to address complex societal challenges and realise just and sustainable transitions.
Through participatory processes and cross-sectoral collaboration, within and beyond academia, a richer system understanding is generated, promoting innovative solutions for using land, energy, and transport efficiently and effectively, in direction towards sustainable and attractive communities.
