Sustainable development poses one of the key
challenges for our society. In the area of expertise covering
transport, environment & energy, we play a part by contributing a
perspective
based on social and political science.
In the transport
area, Interface is taking an in-depth look at mobility. We are
studying a variety of subject areas linked to private and public transport -
for example, questions about the effects of interventions based on transport
policy and planning. Other key concerns of ours include consideration of future
perspectives and innovative approaches, as well as the interactions between
transport and the region.
In the environment
area, we deal with questions regarding the conception and implementation of environmental
protection. We examine the implementation, effectiveness and efficiency of
measures and programmes in areas of activity related to the classical
environmental media - water, soil, air, and the protection of nature and the
countryside.
In the energy
area, Interface has made a name for itself as a competent
evaluation team. At both national and international level, we examine policies
to promote alternative energies and new approaches in the energy efficiency
sector.
