The University Institute for Research in Sustainability, Climate Change, and Energy Transition (IU-RESCAT) has established a series of strategic objectives that will guide its activities and initiatives in the coming years. Through these objectives, IU-RESCAT aims to excel in scientific research, become a reference in scientific advisory and knowledge transfer, promote knowledge in critical areas such as sustainability and climate change, acquire the necessary resources, and consolidate its image as a scientific and social community leader. Below, we will analyze each of the strategic objectives set by IU-RESCAT in more detail to understand better its commitment to these crucial challenges of our time.
-
Achieve International Scientific Excellence
- o excel globally in IU-RESCAT's research lines, a multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary approach will be promoted to achieve scientific excellence. This research will translate into participation in international projects and calls, such as the Horizon Europe program and publication in indexed journals and Q1-SPI publications.
