About
TRANSITER is observing and supporting the TRANSItion of TERritories and lifestyles in Luxembourg. The TRANSITER observatory in Luxembourg leads the assessment of societal acceptance for decarbonization and resilience measures. By aggregating and refining policy suggestions through citizen engagement and dialogue with the relevant stakeholders, it effectively bridges the implementation gap. Leveraging diverse methodologies, including a smartphone app for assessment, TRANSITER is poised to yield groundbreaking insights into policy acceptability, potentially shaping future research in environmental policy assessment. TRANSITER is funded by the Ministry of the Environment, Climate and Biodiversity through the Fond climat et énergie and the Ministry of Housing and Spatial Planning.
