In January 2025, SNS will launch the three-year research project “Financing and Organizing Infrastructure”.
In recent times, the need to maintain, optimize, and expand both digital and physical infrastructure has increased. Critical infrastructure is aging and needs replacement, while digitalization and demographic changes require infrastructure to be upgraded and adapted. Additionally, the war in Europe, the phase-out of fossil fuels, and adaptation to a changing climate are driving the need to rebuild and strengthen several infrastructure systems.
How is infrastructure prioritized and financed, and how can the operation and security of these systems be organized? What does the distribution of risks and responsibilities between public and private actors look like in major infrastructure projects? And how can governance and management be coordinated?
The research project will provide knowledge and insights for discussions and action.
