Ecological Economies and Sustainable society development (EESS)

The research group focuses on interdisciplinary projects that contribute to the development of societies with a high quality of life within resilient nature and sustainable economy.

Through research, courses and study programs and collaboration with different parts of society, we focus on developing a balance between use and protection of nature and culture in a long-term perspective.

The research group Sustainable societies and technology development is rooted in a proactive definition of sustainable development; Sustainable development includes taking care of the individual, society and the environment in a way that is not harmful or destructive but on the contrary is more stimulating and life-enhancing. Ecological economics and adapted use of technology is important in sustainable quality-of-life societies.
