Sustainability means fairness. In view of global phenomena such as economic crisis, climate change or resource scarcity, the question arises on how we can preserve our freedom of action and those of our children under such conditions. SERI carries out applied sustainable research and provides approaches for holistic processing of relevant problem areas in their social, environmental and economic aspects.
SERI’s activities focus on the transformation of Europe in its local, national and global context and are implemented within the framework revolving around European, national and international research and cooperation projects. Our vision of sustainability means enjoying life through a conscious way of dealing with oneself, one another and natural resources.
SERI aims to create awareness. Because everything we do – or not do – in our complex world affects other people. Therefore communication between scientists, policy makers, civil society organisations and the public is a key tool for the scientific and advisory activities of SERI.
