Welcome to the
Research Institute for Managing Sustainability
(RIMAS)
Sustainable development is an important challenge for our time - one
which we at the Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration
wish to thoroughly analyse. Here, the topic is addressed from a variety
of angles including Corporate Sustainability, Corporate Social Responsibility,
Good Governance, innovation research, and sustainable consumption.
A total of ten institutes and departments of the Vienna University of
Economics and Business Administration deal with economic, environmental
and social aspects of sustainable development. In the late 1990s, these
activities were consolidated and reinforced in interdisciplinary projects
with the establishment of a Research Centre for Managing Sustainability,
which in 2005 became the Research Institute for Managing Sustainability.
We hope that our website will provide you with necessary background information
on the topics we are dealing with and the projects and publications we
are or have been working on. Besides describing our capabilities, it also
introduces our team and our network. Moreover you can find information
on the FP6 EU project EASY-ECO, which offers conferences and training
possibilities regarding evaluation in the context of sustainable development.
Since we are interested in exchanging experiences and expanding our network
of scholars and practitioners working in the field of sustainable development,
we invite you to contact us.
