- CEECEC (Civil Society Engagement with ECological EConomics) is a European Commission FP7 funded project that aims to enable Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) to engage in and lead collaborative research with ecological economists. The overall focus is not on theory but on case study learning, whereby CSOs and academics will identify and explore key issues for research in areas such as water management, mining, energy, forestry and agriculture, based on CSO needs and interests. The end result will be a stand-alone online handbook, containing civil society case studies hyperlinked to a glossary, and an interactive online course, both of these designed to introduce and explain the principles, tools and methods of Ecological Economics to CSOs and the general public.

In conducting innovative science, we select and develop substantive research themes, further stimulating scientists to coordinate their efforts toward the. Read more...
