In 2019, a new multidisciplinary research initiative on sustainable industry and society called IRIS was launched at the KTH School of Industrial Engineering and Management. IRIS focuses on knowledge creation and spreading awareness for the paradigm shift needed in transforming industrial systems towards a circular economy approach. The goal is to contribute to the transition towards a zero-emission, adaptable industry for a sustainable society characterized by new product and service designs, new materials, new business models, sustainable energy systems, recycling, reuse and remanufacture.
Research efforts within, and across, the following areas are currently included in IRIS:
Industrial transformation through sustainable digitalization.
Integrated mechanics, components and materials design, including additive manufacturing.
Sustainable energy systems, infrastructure and business.
Innovation management, innovation eco-systems and entrepreneurship
