Trace: TRAnsformations, Communities and Environments

The field of Urban and Regional Studies, or more broadly Spatial Sciences, at the University of Groningen has a strong academic position, nationally and internationally, and is well-embedded in a wider range of disciplines, such as social sciences and technology sciences. Its relevance is in addressing spatial aspects of the key societal challenges and emerging technological transitions of today.

Our research programme is titled TRACE (TRAnsformations, Communities and Environments). Our ambition is to create scientific and societal impact by undertaking cutting-edge research at the interface of people, places, and planning in rural and urban settings, especially at local and regional scales, in the Netherlands, Europe and globally.
