Opis

The EU-funded project Sustainable Consumption Research Exchanges (SCORE ) consists of around 200 experts in the field of sustainable innovation and sustainable consumption. The SCORE philosophy is that innovation in SCP policy can be achieved only if experts that understand business development, (sustainable) solution design, consumer behaviour and system innovation policy work together in shaping it. Sustainable technology design can be effective only if business can profitably make the products and consumers are attracted to them. To understand how this might effectively happen, the expertise of systems thinkers must be added to the mix.
