The new axis stems from the need to establish SUPSI as a point of reference on the SC/SR theme in Ticino, in Switzerland and abroad. In order to achieve this objective, interdepartmental coordination work is required, devoted to the development of projects that promote digital and social innovation at the service of sustainability and the quality of life for citizens. The axis will also act as an interface for the public sector and businesses, developing approaches for the involvement and participation of civil society in the processes. Given its transdisciplinary focus, researchers from most SUPSI core areas (DACD, DEASS, DTI, DFA and FFHS) will participate in the axis.

The research axis shall focus on the following areas:

• Approaches and enabling factors
• Regional digitisation
• Regional sustainability and decarbonisation
• Quality of life for citizens
