• To develop understanding of and promote
research on transformations to sustainability
which are of significant social, economic and
policy concern throughout the world and of
great relevance to both academics and
stakeholders.
• To build capacity, overcome fragmentation and
have a lasting impact on both society and the
research landscape by cultivating durable
research collaboration across multiple
borders (including across low- and high-income
countries), disciplinary boundaries, and with
practitioners and societal partners.A BIT MORE SPECIFICALLY
• To advance the integration and synthesis of knowledge on
transformations to sustainability through facilitated activities
and support for purposeful interaction among the T2S research
projects.
• To contribute to the building of a global research community
around social transformations to sustainability and to connect
them to other relevant communities of practice worldwide.
• To establish a sustainable, open resource base/platform for
the academic and practitioner community, to support and
stimulate learning and knowledge exchange, linking up with
existing platform(s).
• To develop strategic communication with target audiences.KNOWLEDGE EXCHANGE & COMMUNITY BUILDING

Ev’ing Dinner together Free evening Free eveningSTORYTELLING FOR SOCIAL CHANGE “Storytelling is as old as humanity itself. And in a modern world saturated with electronic media, nothing resonates quite so much as the personal narrative of a storyteller. In science, this narrative has a special role, especially because what we do so often seems mysterious to those outside our profession. Storytelling in science, whether of science valour or science beauty, provides a very human window into our world. Telling stories, simply and clearly, is the means by which we connect science with humanity.” Paul Callaghan [Additional resources at: http://www.futureearth.org/blog/pop-webinars]

WORLD SOCIAL SCIENCE FORUM – TKN SESSION Engaging Power Relations in Transformations to Sustainability Research CS1-15 Tuesday 25 September, 14.20–16.20 Room 503 In this interactive session, we draw on the work of three transdisciplinary research projects on ‘Transformations to Sustainability’ to reflect on (a) how power relations manifest to hold back transformations to sustainability or, conversely, how collective power is used for positive transformation, (b) how we engaged practically with power relations in our research, and (c) what we have learned from this for transformations to sustainability. Discussant: Ursula Oswald-Spring, National University of Mexico, Mexico

The keynote speaker will set out their view of the benefit of putting the social sciences at the heart of sustainability research and the contribution the social sciences can make to finding solutions, challenging assumptions and changing how we do research for sustainability. The Belmont Forum-NORFACE T2S projects leaders will present their intended contribution to social transformations and what they see as the main challenges ahead, in the near and longer term.
