Research with impact

We deal with various social issues in our research on themes such as more than economy, climate, inclusiveness, democracy, security, and responsible governance. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are our source of inspiration in this regard.

By critically analyzing, broadening, and deepening the SDGs, we show how they interrelate with the major challenges facing society. All these challenges require a multidisciplinary approach. Thanks to our unique, broad combination of disciplines, from business administration to political science, public administration, geography, planning, and environmental science, we have our own specific interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approach. That is why our strategy will have an impact and contribute to our mission: responsible governance for sustainable societies. After all, what matters to us is not what we are good at, but what we are good for.
