Brainstorming for the call: Behavioural, social and cultural change for the Green Deal

Works for me! I just had a great call with Flora (About — Flora Mary Bartlett), the colleague I mentioned:

She’s on board to help me with the climate change anthropology part of the grant writing and to propose the Sweden part of the ethnographic studies. We have some ideas about how to frame the comparative ethnographic studies around the proposal and will work on the concept note after our (alberto + martin + Ivan) meeting on Monday.

From what I can tell from the call, the ideal would be to have:

a series of comparative ethnographic studies (not unlike the “deep stories” in PARTENAIRE, EDGE working with universities like UniAalborg and communities like Blivande. Initial fieldsite ideas: Sweden, Denmark, Italy, Poland, Belgium, Greece [potentially replace with southern France])
+
SSNA/network science (EDGE and UniBordeaux)
+
government partnerships (Milano? We can think through this)
+
Large online conversation on topics like the future of work (EDGE ala Nadia) with “transdisciplinary networks of experts, researchers, practitioners and relevant civil society organisations on behavioural, social and cultural change”
+
some experimental element, perhaps a partner doing experimental psychology, to study the behavioural change element.

This last bit is the most up in the air for me, and could be cut, but an experimental element seems to be something they are interested in, could strengthen the proposal, and could be interesting in general.
