Our research programme is organised into four research units, supported by four cross-cutting functional units. Each unit runs its own programmes by combining fundamental research, innovation and service delivery. The units collaborate routinely: a single technology assessment will typically draw on three or four units. Each carries its own intellectual identity, leadership and growth trajectory. 

Within each unit the same internal pipeline applies. Fundamental research generates new knowledge and methods. Innovation converts those methods into reproducible tools, protocols and platforms. Service delivery puts those tools in front of municipalities as practical offerings. The Centre therefore does not depend on a single programme or funding stream, and each unit generates its own research agenda, innovation portfolio and service catalogue.
