Description
The Programme for Innovation and Development is an initiative in building international relations across public, private and academic institutions, and participating in externally funded research, innovation and development projects (e.g. H2020 & HE). Thematic areas cut across major strategic priorities and action plans, in particular, those of the Reykjavík Green Deal on achieving carbon neutrality, sustainable transport and active mobility, and an emphasis on public health, social justice and equality, democratic and co-creative participation, digital transformation and user-centred services.
Projects
Our projects are supported by collaboration between city departments (e.g., environment and planning; innovation and services, welfare) and special offices, and they present novel research opportunities in areas of policy, politics and governmentality, as well as in the specific topical domains the projects are tackling.
