KIPPT Newsletter No. 1 – September 2024
The first issue of the newsletter for theKey Initiative on Public Policies for Transition(KIPPT) is now available. A new Key Initiative of the Montpellier I-site’s Program of Excellence, officially launched in April 2024, KIPPT is the first Key Initiative dedicated entirely to the humanities and social sciences. In a context where supporting transitions toward new, more sustainable and equitable development models has become a challenge for public actors, this Key Initiative aims to promote:
- The regional, national, and international visibility of the expertise of social science researchers at the Montpellier I-Site who are working on public policies related to transition: agriculture and food, health, the environment, and beyond—including transportation, mobility, energy, education, and digital technology…
- Building a vibrant, interactive, and responsive multidisciplinary research community
- Developing relationships with and for society, particularly with public sector entities and their partners
Since April 2024, various initiatives have been launched, confirming the momentum anticipated around the topic of public policies for transition. To build on this momentum, KIPPT is launching this newsletter and the KIPPT website today. These tools are designed to facilitate the sharing of resources and foster dialogue: please feel free to make use of them!
