Our research
EIEE Topics
In 2021, EIEE re-organized the research in eight new topics. They consolidate the existing expertises at the institute while exploring new research pathways that will help to understand the increasing and complex climate change and sustainability challenges.
Climate
Transition
Achieving climate neutrality requires a rapid and profound transformation of our societies. Strong analytical capacity can be harnessed to design transition pathways which are feasible and equitable.
Climate Impacts
& Adaptations
Understanding how agents, as well as physical and biophysical systems, react to climate change.
Climate Finance
& Macroeconomics
The macroeconomic repercussion of environmental challenges are key for designing a sustainable transition.
Climate
Justice
Solving climate change will not happen without an adequate distribution of the efforts and an inclusive approach.
Sustainable Innovation
& Digitalization
Reaching climate-neutral economies and societies in a just and equitable way requires innovation of both technological and social systems.
Behavioural
Data Science
Solving ecological problems understanding how people and organizations behave.
Human Health
& Migration
Environmental change affects migration, and in turn, migration provides ways to escape ecological risks.
Resilient
Cities
Urban areas are at the forefront of climate mitigation adaptation policies, being a place where a range of actors interact in different economic activities
