Announcement: new Transformations to Sustainability Programme and Preparatory Call for Seed Funding

The International Social Science Council (ISSC) is pleased to announce the launch of a new global research funding programme on transformations to sustainability.

 

The Transformations to Sustainability Programme aims to build scientific understanding of transformative social change in the face of global change and sustainability. More specifically, the programme seeks to:

 

Increase the social science contributions necessary to craft more effective, durable and equitable solutions to the problems of global change and sustainability

Increase the use of such knowledge by policy makers, practitioners, the private sector, citizens and activists

 

This initiative is intended as a major contribution to the work of Future Earth, a global research platform that provides knowledge and support to accelerate transformations to a sustainable world. Future Earth is co-sponsored by the members of the International Science and Technology Alliance for Global Sustainability.

 

Please find attached the programme description with details of the first call for seed funding

Should you have any questions about the programme or the call please don't hesitate to contact the team at transformations@worldsocialscience.org
