Decades of experience working on European Research Projects and policies towards Environmental and Climate Sustainability<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>

Who are we?<\/h3><\/div>

ASPECT is a research unit within SFI\u2019s Insight Research Center which analyzes multimodal data to produce tools and policy recommendations, aiding policymakers in building new policies or improving existing policy implementation to more- successfully achieve sustainability from local to EU levels.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Why are Analytics for Sustainable Policies needed?<\/h3><\/div>

Policies in this rapidly evolving world are often static and unable to keep up with the pace of change. Thus, to help policymakers and stakeholders adapt to these constant changes, ASPECT provide the tools to build resilient evidence-based policy solutions that are flexible and adaptable to take account of current data. This dynamic evidence-based approach is especially valuable in policymaking for the environment, sustainable development, and Just-Transition.<\/p>\n

Current focus areas for ASPECT are:<\/strong>
