ProActS – Promoting resource efficiency, co-creative Actions, and Innovation for Sustainable transition

The research programme ProActS (Promoting resource efficiency, co-creative Actions, and Innovation for Sustainable transition) takes a broad and multidisciplinary approach to sustainability issues. The goal is to positively contribute to societal developments in sustainability and circularity. The research includes environmental, social and economic sustainability.

ProActS tackles challenges regarding, for an example, energy, water, food and climate change. The programme is part of the University's focus area Smart Cities and Communities. It aims to explore and solve societal problems related to using resources in a circular way.

The research programme brings together researchers in business administration, energy engineering, environmental science, humanities, information technology, innovation sciences and social sciences from all of the University's faculties. The research includes environmental, social and economic sustainability and is carried out in close collaboration with the surrounding society.
