Each chapter represents findings from a novel collaboration between the technical and social sciences based on a call to form ad-hoc research teams and open for all topics related to the objectives of the Green Deal of the European Commission. This diversity is reflected in the wide range of themes covered in this book, yet all chapters are united by the common goals of demonstrating SSH-STEM collaboration and providing accessible policy recommendations for the European
Commission grounded in research.
The research teams not only bridged the differences in working methods and terminologies between SSH and STEM research communities but also stepped out of the confines of academia to provide practical and actionable policy recommendations. This effort aims to address the often-present gap between research, policy, and practice. Fundamentally, this book is aimed at strengthening European mobility policy through better interdisciplinary research.
Book editors
This book is a part of a SSH CENTRE produced collection of three policy-focused edited books on energy, climate and mobility policies. Each book presents ~10 recommendations (one per core chapter) for furthering relevant European Commission strategies, primarily relating to the EU Green Deal programme. All recommendations were based on new collaborations between Social Sciences & Humanities (SSH) researchers and Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) researchers.
All books are open access.
