Vision and Mission Our vision is to make a real and tangible difference in the transition towards a sustainable development through cross disciplinary and curiosity driven research focused on societal challenges. The mission of Built Environment Area of Advance is to display and focus cross disciplinary research in the built environment sector and to collaborate across borders to achieve excellence ‐ in order to contribute to solving future challenges and a sustainable society. The Area of Advance integrate research, education and innovation and creates new meeting places for academy and societal stakeholders. The Built Environment Area of Advance acts in accordance with national environmental priorities and Chalmers strategic plan for development 2011 ‐ 2015 to promote a feasible and sustainable societal development that creates a good social situation for all people, an acceptable utilization of water, natural resources and energy and economic growth. In this, the built environment has a crucial role to play as it provides the physical means for living, working, travelling and other activities defining our society. Also from the production process perspective, the built environment is special, due to the size, long technical lifetime and considerable environmental impact of the products.
