Centre for Sustainability Assessment and Policy

Sustainability development is a prominent research subject at the Technical University of Dresden.

In achieving our vision to integrate tangible and intersectional sustainability initiatives across a wide range of academic disciplines, PRISMA - Centre for Sustainability Assessment and Policy intends to act as an authority on sustainability assessment while leveraging synergies between science and policy. Our focus is the establishment of economically successful, environmentally sound, and socially resilient long-term development, which considers spatial and temporal conditions through innovative, interdisciplinary approaches to assessment. The scope of these assessments encompasses systems, institutions, organisations, and individuals, as well as the production and processing of materials. Scientists and researchers from the TU Dresden work and research in representation of PRISMA - Centre for Sustainability Assessment and Policy, alongside partner institutions within the DRESDEN-concept and other collaborators pertaining to sustainability assessment.

PRISMA - Centre for Sustainability Assessment and Policy operates under the supervision of its Board (consisting of Prof. Edeltraud Günther, Prof. Jochen Schanze, Dr. Peter Saling und Jun.-Prof. Samanthi Dijkstra-Silva).
