| Consumption
Network
An ESRC-STP and DEFRA-sponsored network on consumption and sustainability
held its first seminar at the Cabinet Office in December.
Three seminars are being convened by Green Alliance, with the aim
of engaging decision-makers in a dialogue about recent developments
in research on consumption behaviour and practice. The series is
designed to inform the debate on sustainable consumption and production
launched by the Government in 2003.

day can be seen by

Governance Network
The governance of sustainable technologies network will:
- Explore the various ways of linking research in the areas of
governance, science and technology studies, and innovation studies
with work on sustainable technologies;
- Use research on sustainable technologies to 'talk' beyond the
environmental studies communities and in particular to contribute
to ongoing research into governance;
- Develop a cross-cutting theme - governance of sustainable technologies
- which can bring together a majority of projects funded under
the ESRC’s Sustainable Technologies Programme;
- Draw out policy recommendations from the work where this is
appropriate.
The main output from the network will be the publication of an
edited book which draws on the research funded under the ESRC’s
Sustainable Technologies Programme and that of other interested
scholars. Before this book is published, a set of working papers
will be published on the STP web-site.
