A research could be productive, but should not compromise the quality, originality and creativity of the work.
One of the major challenges in science is finding the next generation of researchers for whom this passion burns brightest - and helping them to sustain that passion over a career.
In the best science investigations, it’s not the questions that are most creative, but rather how the experiment is measured and how the data are interpreted.
This project "Alternative Trajectories for Sustainable Settlements Development" is being conducted at the Institute for Environmental Studies (IVM) of VU University Amsterdam, with financial supports primarily from China Scholarship Council (CSC). The objective is to improve the representation of urban land in land-use models, in order to assess future change trajectories and their consequential impacts.
