As a first activity of the Institutional Hub, we are aiming to develop a short paper together that outlines key opportunities for leveraging collaborations amongst SES research centres and networks to advance SES science. The intention is to submit this as part of the SocSES special issue on Frontiers of SES Science that we hope to publish in COSUST (we are still awaiting feedback on our proposal). The objective is also that, through this process, we identify an initial set of key activities around which we would like to collaborate (possibly in smaller groups) over the next year or two, and also get to know one another better. You can find the working document here. Please add your name to the sections where you’d be interested to contribute and feel free to add comments.
