Research Focus

The IZT sees its goal in projecting a ’liveable’ future and its work as a contribution to international future research. The topics relate to the global challenges of our civilisation. The core of research and development are ecological, social and economically feasible problem-solving strategies to foster innovation in the society. Furthermore the aim is to work towards a foresighted, responsible and creative design for the future. This requires an interdisciplinary view of the global context while future concepts for the regions are to enable local action.
