Objective Our overall aim is to help find better ways of using indicators in all aspects of policy, but with a thematic focus on the role of indicators in fostering and supporting change in areas of policy making towards ‘Sustainable Development’. The research area of indicators in the presumed service of sustainability will provide a rich ground for addressing the actual use, influence and impacts of indicators, reflecting dynamic interactions between forces for policy continuation and versus policy change. . The objectives of the project are to: Design a coherent framework of analysis and generate hypotheses on the use and influence of indicators, by pulling together the disparate strands of research and practical experience of indicator use and influence, focusing broadly on European policies, but with a special emphasis on fostering change towards sustainability Test the analytical framework and the hypotheses on specific cases of sector integration and sustainability indicators, as well as composite indicators (indices) in order to • identify the ways in which indicators influence policy, including the unintended types of influence and situations of ‘non-use’; and • Identify factors that condition the way in which indicators influence policies, including the process and the outcome of designing and producing indicators, the type of indicators, expectations of stakeholders involved, the role of the organisations preparing and disseminating the indicators, as well as general socio-cultural and political background factors. • Recommend ways to enhance the role of indicators in supporting policies Keywords composite indicators expert led indicators policy influence sector indicators sustainable development indicators user led Programme(s) FP7-SSH - Specific Programme "Cooperation": Socio-economic Sciences and Humanities Topic(s) SSH-2007-6.1-01 - Current use of indicators in policy Call for proposal FP7-SSH-2007-1 See other projects for this call Funding Scheme CP-FP - Small or medium-scale focused research project Coordinator AARHUS UNIVERSITET EU contribution € 278 903,00 Address NORDRE RINGGADE 1 8000 Aarhus C Denmark See on map Region Danmark Midtjylland Østjylland Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Pia Frederiksen (Dr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data Participants (8) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all SUOMEN YMPARISTOKESKUS Finland EU contribution € 156 227,00 Address LATOKARTANONKAARI 11 00790 Helsinki See on map Region Manner-Suomi Helsinki-Uusimaa Helsinki-Uusimaa Activity type Research Organisations Administrative Contact Maria Vuorinen (Ms.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data DANMARKS TEKNISKE UNIVERSITET Denmark EU contribution € 186 331,50 Address ANKER ENGELUNDS VEJ 101 2800 Kongens Lyngby See on map Region Danmark Hovedstaden Københavns omegn Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Henrik Gudmundsson (Dr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data UNIVERSITE LIBRE DE BRUXELLES Belgium EU contribution € 165 540,00 Address AVENUE FRANKLIN ROOSEVELT 50 1050 Bruxelles / Brussel See on map Region Région de Bruxelles-Capitale/Brussels Hoofdstedelijk Gewest Région de Bruxelles-Capitale/ Brussels Hoofdstedelijk Gewest Arr. de Bruxelles-Capitale/Arr.
