At the Wuppertal Institute, we understand sustainability research as
- oriented on applicability in real life
- integrative and cross-sectional
- interdisciplinary and based on systems analysis
- oriented on long-term ecological developments
- based on teamwork across the classic scientific disciplines
- relying on a network of partners in science, business and policy
- independent and committed
Research Strategy
In the Research Groups, scientists with backgrounds in a wide range of disciplines collaborate in projects on international, national and regional levels. Focus Projects bring together core issues addressed by the research groups. In the Cross-Cutting Subjects scientists from different Research Groups join forces.
