ABOUT ICRE8
The International Centre for Research on the Environment and the Economy (ICRE8) is a non-for-profit, private, Research Centre dedicated to interdisciplinary research on the Environment, Energy, Economy, Eco-innovations and their electronic versions (hence E8). The overarching goal of the Centre is to promote the understanding and implementation of Sustainable Development, as the only non-self-destructive path of socio-economic development.
ICRE8 is reinforcing the Research Team on Socio-Economic and Environmental Sustainability (ReSEES) work with an exceptionally successful record of attracting funding for long and short run research projects: eleven research projects over less than two years of operation, six of them Horizon 2020 projects.
