Erasmus Initiative: Dynamics of Inclusive Prosperity
The Erasmus Initiative 'Dynamics of Inclusive Prosperity' revolves around the question how as many people as possible can benefit from prosperity growth while minimising negative consequences. Increasing prosperity requires a continuous alignment of the changing interests and values of governments, businesses, citizens and entrepreneurs. To map this dynamic field, scientists from the Erasmus School of Law, Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University (RSM) and Erasmus School of Philosophy engage in a multidisciplinary collaboration.
JustWind4All
The DRIFT-led European research project JustWind4All started, supporting the acceleration of on- and offshore wind energy, including emerging wind technologies like airborne and floating, through just and effective governance. This includes setting up 5 regional wind labs across Europe: regional testing grounds that use innovative approaches to tackle the main challenges of just and sustainable wind energy development.
Transformative research on sustainability
The Design Impact Transition (DIT) Platform at Erasmus University empowers radically new ways to do research, education and engagement for a just and sustainable future. From researching how universities can teach students to challenge and change the status quo, to exploring how transformative research can be institutionalised in academia.
