Transformations 2 Sustainability (T2S 2016)

This Collaborative Research Action (CRA) was initiated by the Belmont Forum and the NORFACE Network with two main objectives:  
  • To develop an understanding of and promote research on transformations to sustainability, which are of significant social, economic and policy concern.
  • To build capacity, overcome fragmentation and have a lasting impact on both society and the research landscape by cultivating durable research collaboration across multiple borders, disciplinary boundaries, and with practitioners and societal partners.
  This CRA was launched in 2016 and ended in 2022. It was supported by:

FWO, FNRS, FAPESP, MOST, AKA, ANR, BMBF, IRC, JST, VIAA, FNR, NWO, RCN, ARRS, VR, SNSF, ESRC, NSF, and ISSC
