New Thematic Groups

 

Interested in Creating a Thematic Group?

The current round of new Thematic Group proposals has now closed. Thematic Groups (TGs) are self organized
spaces that foster collaboration and knowledge pertaining to a particular theme related to sustainability transitions. They are established and coordinated by STRN members who wish to engage with a particular thematic area on a regular basis and provide a forum and space for collective thinking on a particular subject.
We seek to accommodate emerging themes with which the transitions community wants to engage. Therefore, we intend to have a regular call for new thematic groups. TGs are formed by at least five members of the STRN community who wish to gather around a certain sub-theme on a regular basis and present themselves as such  to the network and beyond.
Activities of TGs may include the organization of workshops, conference sessions, special issues, writing research proposals, webinars, etc. TGs are visible on the STRN website with a general description, key activities, (a selection of) key publications and information on how others can get involved. Thematic groups are run on a voluntary basis for an initial period of three years, and they can also be terminated again. A small amount of funding is available to support the thematic groups to help facilitate workshops and other key activities. 

New thematic group calls will be announced in the future and more information will follow.

Applications are reviewed by the STRN Steering Group. TGs are initially approved for three years. TG organizers and members of the Steering Group will then evaluate the benefits of continuation or termination.
