Research
We study the Earth, from its core to its surface, including how we use its space and resources. We explore ecological, economic, and social sustainability and their applications in policy, politics, and society, striving for a sustainable future for all. By combining our expertises, we can develop integrated solutions to sustainability issues and create knowledge for a better future for future generations.
Our research is conducted by four departments. Each of these departments offers a strong disciplinary knowledge base.
Our researchers are involved in all four of Utrecht University's strategic themes with an emphasis on Pathways to Sustainability.
