The lab conducts analyses from an experimental approach based on a raft of different human and social science theories, in an endeavour to find answers to the global challenges society is facing. This could be anything from political ecology and migration, to the role of cities in the climate transition.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Or industrial economics and organisation<\/strong> at the intersection between economics\/management and engineering\/science, highlighting areas such as logistics, production management and entrepreneurialism.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Interdisciplinary collaborations<\/strong> like these are ever more important in dealing with the increasingly complex issues the world is facing today. It is therefore crucial that we have these combined environments also at KTH, and I hope they can be even more successful.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The mixture of heavy engineering and humanities\/social sciences<\/strong> can be found in many places around the world, such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MIT.
