About FUSION

Introduction

Step into the dynamic world of collaborative innovation and interdisciplinary exploration. FUSION isn't just a research group; it's a hub where diverse minds converge to shape a sustainable future. FUture Sustainable economy Integrated mOdelling Network isn't just a name; it's a promise to chart pathways to a sustainable future driven by collaboration and data-driven foresight.

A Confluence of Disciplines

FUSION isn't bound by the traditional silos of knowledge. It's a platform for collaboration where economists mingle with ecologists, engineers brainstorm with sociologists, and each discipline enriches the other. This fusion of ideas and expertise is the heartbeat of FUSION's groundbreaking work.

Tools for Building Tomorrow

The driving force behind FUSION's momentum is its commitment to building tangible pathways to a better future. By designing and harnessing cutting-edge modelling tools, FUSION translates visions into reality. These tools aren't just numbers on a screen; they're blueprints that can help researchers and policymakers effect real change.

Unveiling Realities with Life Cycle Analysis

Beyond the surface, FUSION dives deep into the cradle-to-grave journey of products and processes. Life cycle analysis is one method, that is used and integrated into wider modelling frameworks.

Forecasting and Backcasting: Illuminating the Path

FUSION aims to reach beyond mere horizon scanning. Through forecasting and backcasting, FUSION navigates the seas of possibility. It's not just about predicting trends; it's about envisioning multiple futures and strategically backtracking to shape the present accordingly.

The Art of Integrated Modelling

In a world of complexity, FUSION adopts an integrated approach. Integrated Modelling is the canvas on which FUSION paints a holistic picture of interconnected systems. It's a symphony where economy, environment, society, and technology harmonize, creating pathways towards a more sustainable future.

Pillars of FUSION's Impact

  1. Disciplinary Bridge: FUSION's power lies in its ability to bridge disciplines. Through interdisciplinary collaboration, it crafts solutions that resonate across various fields, leaving no stone unturned.

  2. Modelling for Change: FUSION isn't confined to theoretical discussions; it brings theories to life through modelling. These models aren't just mathematical constructs; they're tools for real-world transformation.
