Meet our team
The Wageningen Centre of Sustainability Governance (WCSG) was installed in 2017 as a collaboration between four Chair groups: Environmental Policy (ENP), Public Administration and Policy (PAP), Forest and Nature Conservation Policy (FNP), and Law (LAW).
At the WCSG, we are strongly transdisciplinary in our knowledge creation and mobilisation – both in terms of the design of our research projects and representation across national and international science and advisory bodies.

Our Mission
The mission of the WCSG is to further social scientific knowledge on the challenges and solutions to governing societies around the world to achieve inclusive sustainable outcomes in the WUR domains of food, nature, and health.
To achieve this mission the four Chair groups collectively bring a cutting-edge theoretical programme together which combines sociology, political science, legal studies and public administration to theorise on transformative modes of governance to address global sustainability challenges.
