Emerging Theories and Methods in Sustainability Research (THEMES): Marie Curie Summer Schools
A series of four Marie Curie Summer Schools in Emerging Theories and Methods in Sustainability Research were organised by leading universities across Europe. The courses were financed by the Conferences and Training Courses Action under the Community’s Sixth Framework Programme. The topics for the summer schools were: Analysing Complexity (Barcelona 2006), Institutional Analysis of Sustainability Problems (Bratislava 2007), Methods and tools for environmental appraisal and policy formulation (Lisbon 2008), Integrated analysis of complex adaptive systems (Brighton 2009). Perspectives from ecological economics form an important basis for the series. The Norwegian University of Life Sciences by Arild Vatn coordinated the series.
