Evaluation, Design and Integration
Axis 1 is the foundation for visualizing, designing, and operationalizing relevant innovations that are socially acceptable and adapted to sustainable development challenges, which will minimize impacts, increase social value and transform lifestyle, management and governance practices.
This axis consists of three objectives:
- Promote the consolidation, improvement, and innovative development of frameworks and tools to qualify, evaluate, quantify and measure the environmental, social and economic impacts of human and industrial activities;
- Design sustainable processes, products, and services with an integrated, socially acceptable and lifecycle perspective;
- Analyze factors that influence decision-making, new behaviours, and transformation of governance dynamics for individuals, organizations, and territories.
