The T2S programme ended in December 2022 after nine rewarding years. Designed to give the social sciences a leading role in sustainability science, the programme was a significant milestone in international research cooperation for sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It progressed through two phases: the first (2014-2019),financed by the Swedish International Cooperation Agency (Sida<\/a>), awarded 38 seed grants and established three major Transformative Knowledge Networks, while the second phase (2018-2022) involved a collaboration with the Belmont Forum<\/a> and NORFACE<\/a>, funding 12 international research projects with additional support from the European Commission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The T2S programme increased social science leadership capacity and provided a platform for social scientists from the Global South to play leading roles in international, transdisciplinary sustainability research.\u202fThe programme helped to change the status of the social sciences in sustainability science and to shift the locus of responses to unsustainability from the technical to the social, political and economic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What we learned from three major international projects about the origins, dynamics and scaling of social transformations, and about the role of science in social transformations, is synthesized in the following report: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
