Transitions Projects

Evidence-based Strategies to create Circular Hospitals: Applying the 10-Rs framework to healthcare. More.

This project investigates how to rebalance the ‘data asymmetry’ between governments and businesses and how the shared private sector data is used in government decisions on societal issues. More.

ESCIB will develop a robust method to assess the environmental sustainability and circularity of bio-based systems. More.

JUSTNEXUS fundamentally rethinks mobility and investigates how just sustainability transitions can be fostered at the intersection of mobility, energy and housing. More.

CropXR is an institute based in the Netherlands that seeks to combine biological and computational science and technologies to create, optimise and utilize a revolutionary 'smart-data-breeding' concept. More.

Creating an evidence base on when, how, for what purposes, and with what implications the Dutch authorities resort to purchasing data from the private sector for decision-making around societal challenges. More.

This project studies whether and how crop gene editing technologies (like CRISPR/Cas) can contribute to a just transition for smallholder farmers in the Global South. More.

This project takes an inter- and transdisciplinary approach to better understand both resistance and acceptance of wind energy deployment. More.

RESILIENCE aims to advance our understanding and predictions of tipping and critical transitions in ecosystems and reveal how these can be evaded and even reversed through spatial pattern formation. More.

Leveraging new collaborations for circular agriculture missions - a multilevel ecosystem approach. More.

How can we transition to climate-resilient rice farming in a way that is both effective and fair? Adaptive Rice Cultivation for a Changing Climate (Ad-RICCE) seeks to promote more climate resilience agriculture by rice farming in India by combining expertise in plant sciences, social sciences, and policy making. More.

BmB - Bouwen met Biobouwers (Building with Ecosystem Engineers) aims to develop a method to restore oyster and mussel beds with biodegradable structures with 3D-printing techniques. More.

DemoTrans investigates the interchange between democratic institutions and the globalisation of the economy to develop promising new approaches to re-embed democracy and capitalism. More.

This project aims to identify transformation processes needed for achieving a large set of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and key synergies and trade-offs among SDG indicators. More.

Leveraging a food transition for indigenous communities in the Bering Sea. More.

Developing a digital platform to support independent and healthy lives for Europe’s ageing populations. More.

This interdisciplinary project aims to contribute to the acceleration of plant-based proteins using four different lenses: innovation system transitions, design studies, psychology, and consumer behaviour. More.

Through a gender lens, this research aims at assessing how the implementation of CE strategies affects the quality of jobs, gender equality and the livelihood of workers in the fashion value chain. More.
