About POLLEN
POLLEN is an umbrella organisation of political ecology researchers, groups, projects, networks and ‘nodes’ within Europe. As the name suggests, POLLEN seeks to provide a platform for the ‘cross-fertilization’ of ideas and where Europe’s many rich, diverse traditions can come together, discuss, and debate the latest developments in the field.
Objectives:
- To be the umbrella organisation for political ecology research and conversations in Europe;
- To enable and facilitate the cross-fertilization of information about political ecology research,
- literature, and relevant funding opportunities among the European nodes;
- To organise and support activities that encourage and strengthen political ecology work in Europe and beyond, both within and outside academia;
- To find ways to engage with activist, civil society and political groups and work to bring these groups into discussion with the network.
