ICRE8: International Centre for Research on the Environment and the Economy is a non-for-profit Research Centre, established in 2014, that does interdisciplinary research on the Environment, Energy, Economy, Eco-innovations and their electronic versions. The goal of the Centre is to support the understanding and implementation of Sustainable Development, as the only non-self-destructive path of socio-economic development. ICRE8's mission is the pursuit of excellence in conducting and presenting research and a commitment to explore relevant environmental, natural resources and energy issues, for a variety of circumstances and stakeholders and across different temporal and spatial scales. The Centre’s research expertise includes financial analysis, socio-economic and econometric analysis, environmental valuation, political and institutional analysis, integrated environmental-economic modelling, cost-benefits analysis, multi-criteria analysis, life cycle analysis, risk analysis, geographical information systems, multi-stakeholder mediations techniques, game theory, information technologies and decision making tools development.

ICRE8 is strategically managed by a Board of internationally renowned academics (including CSERGE's Scientific Director Professor Ian Bateman) and executives, and is supported by a network of more than sixty established researchers from Europe, the US, Asia and Australia.
