In 1999, the German federal ministry of education and research (BMBF) decided to include two new priorities in its environmental research policy portfolio. One was concerning socio-ecological research aiming at a better understandingofthe socialdimensionofthe sustainabilitytriadandthe other onewasoninnovationorientedresearchaiming atabetter understandinghow companies and public authorities can in?uence innovation activities towards the sustainability objectives. The latter priority led to two new programme lines, one targeting at the company level and the other one targeting at the publicpolicylevelundertheheadlineof"frameworkconditionsforinnovations towards sustainable development"(RIW). The projects funded under the RIW programme were analysing the - tential innovation impact of environmental policy measures on the one hand and the sustainability impact of other policies, such as innovation policy, on the other hand. The design of the RIW programme included in addition an international outreach dimension with the organisation of international c- ferences as well as the establishment of collaboration platforms among the funded projects in order to allow for more general conclusions. The RIW programme followed the BMBF tradition to foster multi- or interdisciplinary cooperation,notablyinvolvingacademicsfromeconomics,policysciences,and law.
Industry Reviews
Aus den Rezensionen: "... Eine Besonderheit des Sammelbandes ist, dass jedem Hauptbeitrag ein kurzer Kommentar nachgestellt ist ... Diese direkte Form des schriftlichen wissenschaftlichen Diskurses ist sehr vorbildlich und auch fur den Leser sehr gewinnbringend ... Neben der methodischen Innovation des direkten Kommentars sind auch eine Reihe von innovativen Methoden zu erwahnen, die einzelne Beitrage des Sammelbandes auszeichnen und zur spannenden Lekture werden lassen. ... Insgesamt bringt der Sammelband eine Reihe aktueller Ansatze im Forschungsfeld zusammen ... und erfreut den Leser durch die Vielfalt der eingesetzten Forschungsmethoden." (Marcus Wagner, in: Okologisches Wirtschaften, 2008, Issue 1, S. 54)
