Isa­bel Froes

My research aims to support the development of circular economy solutions, inclusive innovation, and resilient communities. Using participatory and ethnographic approaches, I work with diverse stakeholders, citizens, businesses, and policymakers, to co-create strategies for sustainable urban systems, food resilience, and climate adaptation. These efforts seek to connect research and practice in ways that align with the national and international strategies and goals, such as UN SDGs and the EU Green Deal.  

I have led and collaborated on both national and international research projects funded by Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe, contributing to governance models, behavioral toolkits, and business frameworks that help organizations navigate sustainability transitions. This work builds on collective expertise and shared commitment to policy innovation and social inclusion. Alongside research, I enjoy developing experiential learning environments and community-driven initiatives such as Permahaven and the Women Makers Network, which aim to foster responsible management, creativity, and societal impact in line with CBS’s mission.
