Developing a social platform for interdisciplinary research in the field of sustainable science

Abstract

This research project is inspired by the UNESCO Decade of Education for Sustainable Development (DESD) initiative 2005-2014, and seeks to encourage the incorporation of ethics, values and practices of sustainable development, into all aspects of education and knowledge. This study investigates to what extent an online social platform may contribute to, and enhance the on-going collaborative interdisciplinary research in Sustainability Science at the University of Strathclyde.
