The research area at a glance
Innovative solutions for sustainable development
Through the interdisciplinary approach, different perspectives and competences are used to develop innovative solutions for sustainable development that take equal account of ecological, economic and social aspects. Collaboration between IZNE scientists, practitioners and decision-makers promotes a holistic approach, relying on open dialogue and continuous knowledge exchange to drive the development and implementation of sustainable measures and bring about positive change in society and the environment.
Research into collaboration
Interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research not only looks for solutions within projects, but also examines collaboration itself: What are the success factors, challenges and preferences among those involved? How can funding approaches be designed even better? And what effects does the integration of science and practice have on the quality and implementation of projects? These findings help to improve interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary processes in a targeted manner.
