Institute for Social and Environmental Transition (ISET)

ISET'S work bridges the science-policy-implementation divide across regions and cultures. We are engaged in both basic research and applied implementation activities, with a particular focus on the translation of global natural and social scientific insights into local contexts in a manner that improves understanding and enables action. We also analyze the implications of local physical, cultural, economic and other system dynamics for global and high-level policy and strategy. ISET's activities combine knowledge generation, learning and the incubation of innovative strategies through pilot scale implementation.
