SHARE closing seminar, including two book launches

To achieve sustainability transitions, multi-actor collaboration is a prerequisite for large scale changes as sustainability impacts arise from the complex interplay between actors, technologies, and institutions / organizations at a system level. Such a collaboration introduces several challenges due to the different objectives, priorities, and operating logics of the actors involved. In this seminar, we will discuss the challenges and possible solutions based on our recent research.
