SEP evaluation committee praises IMR's interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research

The external SEP (Strategy Evaluation Protocol) evaluation committee recently finalised its findings on our research institute for the period 2019-2024. The preparations for the self-evaluation and the site visit, which took place on 26-28 May 2025, were successful.

In its assessment based on the SEP criteria (Research Quality, Societal Relevance, Viability), the report praises the IMR's interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research, as well as its support and governance. From the evaluation report: “The institute’s commitment to responsible governance and sustainable societies is more than a mission statement; it is clearly visible in innovative research themes, interdisciplinary Hot Spots, and the dedication to impactful partnerships with both academic and non-academic stakeholders. The committee recognized IMR’s diversity and motivated academic community as significant assets that underpin both resilience and academic excellence".
