The multidisciplinary research group URBinN has a thematic focus on urbanization, urban and regional planning and sustainable development of small and medium sized urbanities in a global perspective with an initial focus on Nordic remote areas. The motive for this interest is the somewhat under-researched area of social, spatial, historical and economic processes related to the origin, functioning and planning of smaller urbanities in general.

The Energy Transition Lab proposes an ambitious and original programme of research and engagement responding to the challenges of energy transition in the European Union.
