The mission of AMS Institute is to develop a deep understanding of the city – sense the city – to design solutions for its challenges, and integrate these into the city of Amsterdam. Our research portfolio revolves around applied technology in themes such as smart urban mobility, urban energy, climate resilience, metropolitan food systems, circular economy, urban data & intelligence. AMS Institute is involved in over 80 projects aiming to create a prosperous and vital city. Now and in the future.
What makes AMS Institute unique is the valorization of research in practice, using the city of Amsterdam as a living lab. Amsterdam provides a valuable context for experiments that help to develop and test advanced solutions for challenges in urbanized metropolitan areas around the globe.
