OBJECTIVES:
To explore the social organization of environmental research programmes at national and European levels, their different traditions, priorities and methods for achieving policy relevance and interdisciplinarity.
DESCRIPTION:
The project focuses on the following:
i) the nature of networks among social science researchers on the environment, and their links with environmental policy.
ii) the role of users and beneficiaries of social science research on the environment in influencing the development of research programmes and policies.
The project investigates what is distinctively `European' and what is `national' about research into environmental issues. It explains the contexts out of which environmental research develops, and the policy environments in which such knowledge is used. Six countries with markedly different research and policy cultures are studied (UK, Finland, The Netherlands, Austria, Greece, Spain).
A history of specific research programmes is documented from written and oral sources and analytical distinctions are drawn between different kinds of research. Specific research projects are also examined and a comparison is conducted between national and European research networks. The methodology puts special emphasis on the involvement of research users through interviews and workshops.
The project highlights the role of specific expertise in social science research on the environment, and the development of Europe-wide research networks in influencing the shape of future European environmental policy.
