+=== Institute for Alpine Environment ===
+The [[http://www.eurac.edu/en/research/institutes/alpineenvironment/default.html|Institute for Alpine Environment]]  was founded in 1995 to perform problem-oriented research on the conflicting priorities of ecology and economy. Located in the heart of the Alps, the Institute offers the ideal conditions for user-oriented research of mountain areas. In their research, the multidisciplinary team of young scientists uses a combination of experimental field research, computer simulations as well as participative transdisciplinary approaches. The team operates a range of regional, national and international projects in the following research fields:

-  * Sustainable development

 The research results are regularly published in international scientific journals, presented at conferences, and put into practice. The Institute's know-how is thus directly involved in planning processes (such as the local implementation of the UN's "Agenda 21") and is used in pedagogical programs to inspire curiosity in scientific research, especially among young people.

+The principal research focus of the [[http://www.eurac.edu/en/research/institutes/regionaldevelopment/default.html|Institute for Regional Development and Location Management]] is to promote sustainable development practices in the residential, business and recreational spaces of mountain areas. It examines local and regional conditions to measure the spatial and socio-economic impact of human activity. Topics of the Institute include tourism, socio-economics and agronomy, transport and mobility, urbanisation in mountain areas, as well as cooperative systems. These independent topics are often interconnected through the synergy of interdisciplinary study. The overall aim is to protect mountain regions through long-term development strategies that foster regional value chains and partnerships to the benefit of the residents, local business and visitors. Researchers look for innovative and socially-relevant connections between different topics and, taking a problem-oriented approach, suggest recommendations and development strategies.
