Webinar: Transformative Knowledge Networks – solutions-oriented research in practice, Tuesday, 5 July 2016, 16:00 – 17:00 CEST
Research on global change and sustainability increasingly goes hand in hand with calls for profound change and social transformation – but what do we know about these processes in different, concrete contexts of application? What can social science-led research contribute to generating solutions and transformative change towards sustainability and social justice?
Join us for a webinar with researchers from the Transformations to Sustainability Transformative Knowledge Networks to discuss solutions-oriented research in practice. Find out more about how the networks intend to contribute to transformative change towards sustainability and social justice, ask questions and share ideas on solutions-oriented research involving co-design and co-production.
