sustainability research

CASRI advanced Environmental and Sustainability Research & Innovation in Europe through national expert workshops in 14 countries and regions. Informed by a desk study and interviews with National Key Stakeholders, these meetings gathered inputs to guide the development of the project’s Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda: as result a comprehensive report has been compiled.

The methodology used in CASRI to involve stakeholders in the various phases of the project has been published. The aim of the methodology is the co-creation of a strategic research and innovation agenda by national key stakeholders, environmental protection agencies and research funders in 14 project countries.

The Sustainability Science Summit 2025 in Berlin brought together researchers, policymakers, and funders to discuss how sustainability science must evolve to drive transformative change. Representing the EPA-Interest Group on Sustainability Research and Solutions and CASRI project, Stephan Bartke (UBA) joined a panel to discuss strengthening the science-policy interface and collaborative research

In April 2024, the EU-funded CASRI project (Collaborative Action for Systemic, Actionable, and Transversal Sustainability Research and Innovation) was officially launched at the German Environment Agency (UBA) in Dessau.
