Global Research Network
For its activities and implementation, the Earth System Governance Project relies on a global network that reflects the interdisciplinary, international, and multi-scale challenge of its research agenda. To this end, the project has built a global network that includes following groups:
- Scientific Steering Committee - The Earth System Governance Project operates under the direction of a Scientific Steering Committee. The role of the Scientific Steering Committee is to guide the implementation of the Earth System Governance Science Plan.
- Lead Faculty - The Lead Faculty of the Earth System Governance Project is a group of individual scientists of high international reputation who will take over (shared) responsibility for the development of research.
- Research Fellows, and Senior Research Fellows - Earth System Governance Fellows are early to mid-level career colleagues who seek to link their own research projects with the broader themes and questions advanced by the Earth System Governance Science and Implementation Plan.
- An important element in the project organisation is the global alliance of research centres that includes the VU University Amsterdam; the Australian National University; Chiang Mai University; Colorado State University; Lund University; University of East Anglia; University of Oldenburg; the Stockholm Resilience Centre and the Tokyo Institute of Technology. Strong networks on earth system governance research are also emerging in China, Africa, Central and Eastern Europe, India, and Latin America.

Famous quotes containing the words global, research and/or network:
“Much of what Mr. Wallace calls his global thinking is, no matter how you slice it, still “globaloney.” Mr. Wallace’s warp of sense and his woof of nonsense is very tricky cloth out of which to cut the pattern of a post-war world.”
—Clare Boothe Luce (1903–1987)
“The research on gender and morality shows that women and men looked at the world through very different moral frameworks. Men tend to think in terms of “justice” or absolute “right and wrong,” while women define morality through the filter of how relationships will be affected. Given these basic differences, why would men and women suddenly agree about disciplining children?”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
“How have I been able to live so long outside Nature without identifying myself with it? Everything lives, moves, everything corresponds; the magnetic rays, emanating either from myself or from others, cross the limitless chain of created things unimpeded; it is a transparent network that covers the world, and its slender threads communicate themselves by degrees to the planets and stars. Captive now upon earth, I commune with the chorus of the stars who share in my joys and sorrows.”
—Gérard De Nerval (1808–1855)
