"Green Growth" has been a frequently heard buzzword in the research and policy consulting arenas for a number of years now. Researchers from a multitude of disciplines postulate a shift away from a relatively exclusive focus on economic growth towards a growth paradigm that takes into account challenges such as resource scarcity, climate change or growing inequalities. Several governments have already reacted and see Green Growth as a promising strategy to overcome the shortcomings of the current growth model.
The aim of the conference is to serve as a platform for young researchers to challenge the concept of Green Growth from different angles by presenting their work while at the same time attempting a roundup of the research that has been already done on the topic. Because the idea of Green Growth is truly interdisciplinary, the conference is to bring together researchers from different disciplines to discuss what their research fields can contribute to the idea of Green Growth, and to take a critical look at the limitations of Green Growth strategies and their implementation. The conference features a roundtable discussion with distinguished speakers, a practical session on "strategies for research in interdisciplinary teams" and a best paper award of 500 Euro.

Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
