AIR TRITIA
International research supporting evidence-based air quality management across cities and functional urban areas in Central Europe.
ACCENDO is an independent research institute combining social sciences, economics, spatial analysis and environmental research to address complex challenges facing cities, regions and public institutions.
ACCENDO – Centre for Science and Research is a Czech research organisation specialising in applied and interdisciplinary research.
We connect scientific knowledge, data analysis and practical policy-making. Our research supports ministries, regions, cities and other public institutions in addressing complex social, economic, environmental and territorial challenges.
Our work ranges from strategic and regional development to public policy evaluation, social research, climate adaptation, security research, criminology and spatial analysis.
We cooperate with public institutions, universities, research organisations and international partners.
We combine quantitative and qualitative research, spatial analysis and policy expertise across several interconnected fields.
Evaluation of public policies, programmes and projects, impact assessment and evidence-based policy design.
Regional development, spatial planning, functional areas, territorial disparities and strategic development of cities and regions.
Social change, labour markets, demographic development, social services, housing, education and quality of life.
Climate adaptation, environmental risks, air quality, urban overheating and sustainable territorial development.
Applied research for security and defence institutions, including organisational development, human resources, public attitudes and emerging security challenges.
Statistical analysis, GIS, spatial modelling, forecasting and integration of complex territorial datasets.
Applied research in criminology, crime prevention and public security, including evaluation of crime prevention programmes, crime analysis and prediction, prevention of recidivism, trafficking in children and support for vulnerable groups.
Selected examples demonstrate how we combine scientific research with practical applications for public policy and territorial development.
