key initiative for transition public policies (kippt)

The objective of the Key Initiative on Public Transition Policies (KIPPT) is to enhance visibility and promote local, national, and international interactions among scientists at the Montpellier site whose work in the social sciences is related to public transition policies. On the one hand, the aim is to bring these researchers together and establish a sustainable network. The KIPPT will thus help to stimulate and encourage exchanges and synergies and raise the profile of the collective expertise of the Montpellier site on public transition policies. On this basis, the KIPPT also aims to structure a "science/society" relationship by acting as a bridge between researchers working on transition policies and public actors.

The KIPPT project will run for 24 months, from April 2024 to April 2026.It is aimed at teaching and research staff in the social sciences division of I-Site.

As part of its activities, KIPPT is launching a call for projects that we invite you to help develop according to the schedule below:

  • March 15 – April 15: call for expressions of interest
