As a spatial planning researcher, Rauws shows how valuable residents' experiential knowledge and creativity can be in maintaining cities as liveable places, something that he explores with them. He is also actively committed to 'team science', i.e. partnering with other disciplines to analyse policy, governance and behaviour. As a Young Academy member, he will focus on making universities more sustainable and on taking science to the local community.
