The Institute of Environmental Systems Research (USF) at the University of Osnabrück is devoted to
developing innovative concepts of managing transformation processes towards sustainability with an emphasis on
improved understanding of the dynamics of actor networks, participatory integrated assessment and scenario analysis.
This is of use both for the analysis of barriers to and drivers of the transition to a sustainable integrated
landscape management culture as well as for the participatory exploration of sustainable paths.
