SERI projects have to fulfil certain criteria regarding the understanding of sustainability, the aims of the projects and an obligatory quality control.
What is a SERI project?
In particular SERI projects are research projects which
| • |
understand sustainability as comprising four dimensions, environmental, social, economic and institutional; |
| • |
take account of the interlinkages and interactions of these dimensions, in a way appropriate to the research task dealt with in the specific project context.
|
For this behalf, the following orientations are incorporated as far as possible and relevant in the specific project context. SERI projects
| • |
regard a globally balanced use (fair shares) of environmental space (i.e. energy and material consumption, land use) as a key challenge;. |
| • |
support equity based approaches in and between societies;
|
| • |
give due attention to the work, labour and gender aspects of policy proposals developed;
|
| • |
support a mixed economy, i.e. they are neither based on the ideology of a completely deregulated and privatised economy, nor on that of a centrally administered, state run one;
|
| • |
promote transparency, accountability, democracy and participation, whenever these issues come up in the scope of the project or during the use of its results; |
| • |
make use of earlier work of the SERI-network, its members and the SERI research community as far as applicable; |
| • |
contribute to and seek feedback from the SERI research community; |
| • |
will be presented publicly as SERI projects. |
