Dutch Research Institute for Transitions

The Dutch Research Institute for Transitions, often referred to as DRIFT, focuses on understanding and facilitating fundamental changes in society, particularly in sustainability and innovation. It conducts interdisciplinary research to explore how systems—like energy, transportation, and food—can transition towards more sustainable practices. By collaborating with governments, businesses, and communities, DRIFT aims to develop strategies that encourage positive change, improve social well-being, and reduce environmental impact. Ultimately, it seeks to empower society to navigate complex challenges and create a more sustainable future.
