About the project

Lamartra team

LAMARTRA is an ambitious interdisciplinary collaboration that reaches over the edges of sustainability transitions research and studies of work and employment.

The governance of the ‘dual transition’ calls for integrative insight: The five consortium partners therefore seek to combine their cutting-edge expertise on sustainability transitions, foresight studies, labour economics and the sociology of work.
