Mainstreaming sustainability transitions: From research towards impact

STRN comprises more than 1500 international researchers from various disciplines and produces more than 500 publications in specialist journals every year. The research network and the annual conference address the question of how the transition to sustainability can succeed through co-evolutionary changes and innovations in socio-technical systems. IST 2021 is hosted by Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research ISI
