Global change und Transformation Processes
Structural change is not only an economic process, but also influences and changes society through different channels of impact. Regional settlement structures are changing and some sub-regions have to be particularly active in finding ways to reverse demographic trends. Interdisciplinary approaches ranging from environmental science, climate change, post-mining landscapes and urban planning to the economic and social consequences of structural change are part of the research at the university.
