Energy and society

The Energy and Society Network was established in 2010 by academics active in the European Sociological Association Research Network on Environment and Society and in the International Sociological Association Research Committee on Environment and Society. Over 140 researchers from Europe and elsewhere contributed to the first conference of the Energy and Society network, which was held in Lisbon in 2012 as a Midterm Conference of the ESA's Research Network on Environment and Society. The network published a selection of papers from the first conference in a special issue of Nature and Culture due for release in early 2014.
