A Project by IÖW and TU Berlin

How are internet forums used to develop innovations for a socio-ecological transformation? The Institute for Ecological Economy Research (IÖW) and the Technische Universität (TU) Berlin are investigating how like-minded people create sustainable solutions together in their spare time. The project explores novel measurement methods and developing instruments to better understand the dynamics and potential of these activities.
