RER (previously IRPUD) is a scientific Research Group of the Department of Spatial Planning, which is involved in the initiation and coordination of large interdisciplinary research projects for the Department.
Today, RER (previously IRPUD)'s main research focus is on spatial risk and climate impact research. Methodologically, it builds on RER (previously IRPUD)'s long-standing expertise in spatial modelling. In risk and climate impact research, the role of spatial planning in risk and climate impact assessment and the development of spatial planning strategies for risk management and adaptation to climate change are investigated.
