Policy Insight Case Studies: Environmental Sustainability and Place
The British Academy is inviting proposals for policy-focused research projects which will provide evidence and case studies that enable policy lessons and insight to be drawn out in two areas linked to our policy programmes: Technology and inequality; and Environmental sustainability and place.
Our work on Environmental Sustainability and Place seeks to explore environmental sustainability through the lens of place and place-sensitive policy, and examines how visible different places, and the people and cultures within them, are to decision makers when they make decisions about the environment.
Projects funded under this scheme will help provide critical evidence of how evidence-based interventions are contributing to improved policy development across each of these areas.
Budget: £25,000 per project
Application deadline: 1st Feb
