Our research explores and proposes solutions for a fairer and more sustainable world, engaging a wide range of stakeholders with complex sustainability issues.
Research partnerships need systems thinking
To really engage with sustainability it is often necessary to place the problem area under consideration in the ‘big picture’.
Putting things in the systemic context helps find rich and complementary answers – ways forward that add up to more than the sum of the parts.
The Institute is an experienced research organisation and partner. We bring a unique range of systems understanding and interdisciplinary creativity and awareness.
We are experts in opening up research questions in order to enrich the field of solutions.
We have expertise in interdisciplinary systems methodology across the range from cultural change, to changing social structures and norms, to production methods and to biophysical nature including ecosystems and climatic systems.
The Institute is ready to talk to you about your research project and to see how we might be able to help. We can guarantee that including systems from the start of any project will pay dividends – retro-fitting these essential aspects half-way through is always costly and sub-optimal. Get in touch now to find out how we can help your project!
