Strategiske instituttsatsinger ved miljøinstituttene 2014

The focus of this SIS-project is sustainable transport and the project’s main aim is to improve the project institutions’ capabilities to undertake interdisciplinary research within this increasingly important topic. The development in the project of new understandings and methodologies for environmental and sustainability research both strengthen the interdisciplinary research and improve perspectives of important transport-environmental relationships. The capacity building occurring throughout this project is important, and enhances the collaboration between the project institutes. The environmental and climatic impacts of the transport sector is the backdrop for selecting it as the focus area for this project, as well as being a sector within which many interdisciplinary research approaches and questions are relevant. Challenges in the transport sector encompass all three dimensions of sustainable development, social, economic and ecological.
