Governance
Governance
Governance of the STRN is based on the following structural elements:
A Board, including a chair, which coordinates the network and has responsibility for core operational tasks
The steering group (SG) gives strategic advice to the board members on the development of the network. SG members are experienced transition scholars and /or those who play or want to play an active role in developing STRN further. The SG strives for representational diversity, e.g. in terms of gender, age, topics, research groups and region.
STRN is managed by a secretariat, which professionally supports existing activities, day-to-day operations, the development of strategic projects and the volunteer work of the steering group.
STRN is financially supported by a group of institutional members, which are national or international centers for sustainability transitions research
Working groups that coordinate strategic tasks in a temporary, project based fashion
