ICIS releases new book
ICIS released a new book ‘Sustainable Development Research at ICIS – Taking stock and looking ahead’ which presents an overview of ongoing and recent sustainable development research at the institute and it introduces the research agenda for the coming years. The book is intended for a broad audience of fellow researchers, collaborators from outside academia, students, and in fact everyone who is interested in learning more about the topics and types of research conducted at ICIS. The book is free to download.
As the starting point for this book, we embraced the idea of showing the diversity and richness of sustainable development research at ICIS. The book is structured along the different dimensions of sustainable development, as we expect most readers to be familiar with this classification. We distinguish: the environmental dimension, the socio-economic dimension, and the political-institutional dimension of sustainable development.
There is also a part on methods for knowledge production, since methodological advancement of the production, integration, and use of knowledge for sustainable development is at the heart of research work at ICIS. Each part consists of several chapters, making up 35 chapters in total.

ICIS, het International Centre for Integrated Assessment and Sustainable development aan de Universiteit Maastricht, opent haar deuren tijdens haar 20-jarig jubileum. Er zijn verschillende interactieve lezingen en workshops in het Engels en Nederlands gebaseerd op (een deel van) het werk dat ICIS doet (duurzame verandering van de maatschappij, de “nieuwe economie”, slimme duurzame steden, living en urban labs, waarde (creatie) en waarden, hoe pak je duurzaamheidsproblemen aan en innovatie voor duurzame ontwikkeling).
Natuurlijk is er ook voldoende ruimte om te netwerken en voor uitwisseling van ideeën.
De dag wordt afgesloten met een feestelijke receptie.
