In June 2006, the Centre for Sustainable Communications at KTH was selected by Vinnova, the Swedish Governmental Agency for Innovation Systems, to be one of 15 Centres of Excellence in Research and Innovation Systems. The Centre aims to explore, innovate and evaluate circumstances where ICT (media & communications) can make significant contributions towards sustainability. It provides a multidisciplinary research platform for developing open access communications, infrastructure and mediated services for people in remote as well as urban environments. It aims to create and develop new, innovative communication tools and methods that provide viable alternatives to existing travel and transportation services, thereby supporting growth and inclusion while reducing our consumption of natural resources. The Centre’s activities combine research and expertise in media technology, telecommunications, information technology, transport systems, environmental strategy, social science, architecture, design and planning in support of the aim to achieve a sustainable development.
