Increasing uncertainty and the dynamics within human-environment systems characterize the complex challenges the cooperation put at its core. The European Communications Institute's focus is thus to provide robust guidance for viable, sustainable and resilient social, economic and industrial processes and structures. In order for societies to achieve more resilience to cope sustainably with the challenges ahead and to build simultaneously structures that facilitate change and societal trust, the research community needs to transfer research results appropriately to meet the needs and expectations of citizens regarding the current level of uncertainty and risk awareness. To address societal digital challenges a better understanding of system-linked empowerment mechanisms between scientists, (future) professionals and practitioners is needed. The activities of the ECI are based on the integration of a multidimensional knowledge linking science and society on four pillars: Research, education, dialogue and mutual learning.
