The Institute aims to bring together a body of researchers who are aware of the role that research can play in the reform process that our societies must go through to achieve a way of operating that respects the environment without overlooking its social dimension.
It organises the researchers into four major research axes:
Axis "Times of crisis"
Axis "socio-ecological transformations and citizen consumers"
Axis "Governance of socio-ecological transformations"
Axis "Socio-ecological transformations trough the lens of micro-systems"
Each axes is explored through the prism of the different disciplinary fields of the participating researchers.
iiTSE is one of the interfaculty institutes that take part in the ambitions of the Research Axis of the ULB Climate Plan.
