Mission

NERI’s mission is to ensure the foundation for research-based initiatives to address issues related to nature, the environment and the climate.

Vision

NERI’s vision is to strengthen its position as Denmark’s national environmental research centre, to expand the AU’s core activities to include strategic environmental research and research-based pub-lic sector consultancy, and to support development of AU as an environmental university.

NERI will achieve this through a combination of:

• Strategic environmental research of a high international standard aimed at providing a founda-tion for future decision making
• Research-based environmental monitoring aimed at national and international needs
• Research-based support for authorities and other decision makers in the form of holistic consul-tancy and integrated models and decision support systems
• Teaching and researcher training based on strategic environmental research
• Cooperation and networks with national and international actors in the environmental research area
• Communication and transfer of knowledge and technology to society at large.
