Programme of the IST 2016 Conference Has Been Published

The 7th International Sustainability Transitions (IST) Conference will be hosted by the Wuppertal Institute, in cooperation with the Center for Transformation Research and Sustainability (TransZent), and take place at the University of Wuppertal from 6-9 September 2016. The IST Conference is the annual meeting of the Sustainability Transitions Research Network (STRN), one of the leading research networks in the field.

Following the theme of IST 2016 "Exploring Transition Research as Transformative Science" current issues in sustainability transitions research will be discussed:

What are the conceptual and methodological challenges of research that is actively involved in transitions to sustainable development? How can we contribute to more sustainable cities, a transformation of energy and mobility systems, a sustainable economy and sustainable patterns of production and consumption?

To make IST 2016 a very practical transition experience, conference participants are invited to visit one of the Wuppertal Institute's urban real-world labs in the urban district "Arrenberg" in the city of Wuppertal with its many exciting projects and initiatives.
