Competencies
For over 50 years, the Salzburg Institute for Spatial Planning and Housing has been gathering knowledge and experience in its areas of expertise and making it available to municipalities, regions and the general public. The SIR’s fields of activity have constantly expanded – and so have its services.
Information transfer and knowledge exchange
We are a source of inspiration
Learning together and from each other: the SIR has been collecting valuable knowledge for over 50 years and brings together an interdisciplinary team of experts. With experts from the fields of energy, climate, spatial planning, buildings and housing as well as sustainability and resource conservation, we have built up a broad, interdisciplinary pool of knowledge whose information we are happy to pass on to the municipalities and regions. We therefore use various event formats as well as dialog with community representatives to share our knowledge, generate new ideas and encourage networking.
Studies and analyses
We are analysts
In our focus areas of Energy & Climate, Buildings, Housing & Settlements, Spatial Development and Sustainability & Resources, we deal intensively with current issues and prepare studies and analyses. We also identify requirements and have the necessary foresight for trends and innovations.
Implementing sustainable projects together
We are the driving force
Shaping living spaces together – this is also the guiding principle behind our joint activities with municipalities and regions. In workshops and discussions, we work together to develop new ideas for sustainable projects and actively support their implementation in the interests of climate protection. As experienced process consultants, we work with you from the start of the project to the finished result and contribute our expertise. In doing so, we provide support with both content expertise and experience in community organization and the introduction of new processes.
Networking and support services
We are networkers
When providing advice and support, we not only draw on the concentrated knowledge within the SIR, but also use our broad network of experts. We network municipalities and regions with each other and provide them with the right specialists to achieve the best possible results. Thanks to our cooperation with various funding agencies, we also offer a broad overview of national and international funding opportunities.
