Networks
Members of the chair groups actively participate in a number of national and international projects and networks.
Wageningen Water Governance Platform (WWGP)
The Wageningen Water Governance Platform (WWGP) bridges social and applied science groups at Wageningen University and Research as a forum for discussion and outreach on issues of water governance in the Wageningen domain. The founding chair groups are Sociology of Development and Change (SDC), Public Administration and Policy (PAP) and Water Resources Management (WRM), though we welcome colleagues from other WUR groups and alumni. In fact we often (co)-organise events related to water governance in collaboration with other interested groups such as WEnR and the Network Land and Water.
Wageningen Disaster Network (WiDeN)
Building on a longstanding tradition of disaster studies at WUR (stretching back to the creation of a Chair in 1996), this cluster brings together scholars from Wageningen University and Research interested in conceptual and applied issues around environmental hazards, disasters, ‘dangerous natures’, events, and socio-technical or industrial catastrophes and collapse. We strive for multi-disciplinarity, from a recognition that ‘natural disasters’ are in fact ‘social disasters’, hence our embeddedness in the Centre for Space, Place and Society (CSPS).
