Research

Interdisciplinarity and transdisciplinarity are key aspects of research conducted at CDO. The identity of our research team lies in its framing of sustainability issues as ‘political’ issues.


Interdisciplinariteit en transdisciplinariteit zijn kenmerkend voor het CDO-onderzoek. We onderscheiden ons ook door duurzaamheidskwesties te benaderen als ‘politieke’ vraagstukken.

About us

Founded in 1995, the Centre for Sustainability Studies (Centrum voor DuurzaamheidsOnderzoek – CDO) at Ghent University is committed to multi- and transdisciplinary research on the social and political dimensions of environment and sustainability issues. The identity of the CDO lies in the use of a nuanced constructivist epistemology, critical policy analysis frameworks, participative research methods, multiperspectivist approaches and, last but not least, the framing of sustainability issues as ‘political’ matter. CDO is hosted by the Department of Political Sciences and is further embedded in several networks both within and outside Ghent University.
