The series Research for Development serves as a vehicle for the presentation and
dissemination of complex research and multidisciplinary projects. The published
work is dedicated to fostering a high degree of innovation and to the sophisticated
demonstration of new techniques or methods.
The aim of the Research for Development series is to promote well-balanced
sustainable growth. This might take the form of measurable social and economic
outcomes, in addition to environmental benefits, or improved efficiency in the use
of resources; it might also involve an original mix of intervention schemes.
Research for Development focuses on the following topics and disciplines:
Urban regeneration and infrastructure, Info-mobility, transport, and logistics,
Environment and the land, Cultural heritage and landscape, Energy, Innovation in
processes and technologies, Applications of chemistry, materials, and nanotechnologies, Material science and biotechnology solutions, Physics results and related
applications and aerospace, Ongoing training and continuing education.
Fondazione Politecnico di Milano collaborates as a special co-partner in this
series by suggesting themes and evaluating proposals for new volumes. Research
for Development addresses researchers, advanced graduate students, and policy and
decision-makers around the world in government, industry, and civil society.
