The AGS is committed to providing
research results of relevance for decision makers in industry and
government and for stakeholders throughout the world. To achieve
this goal the AGS focuses on research that improves decision making
in science and technology intensive issues and works in partnership
with universities and governments in China, Mexico City, and other
countries around the world.
Central to the aim of advancing
research on sustainable development are successful research
partnerships. The AGS is working hard to promote successful and
mutually beneficial research partnerships between academia and
industry. These partnerships provide a rare opportunity for
academics and industry representatives to jointly develop new
approaches to overcome the barriers to Sustainable Devlopment in
specific areas.
One tool to help facilitate this stakeholder
dialogue is the Partnership
Simulation, developed by Professor and the
team especially for the AGS. The exercise is aimed at building
capacity for starting and implementing an effective research
partnership for sustainable development across
academia/industry/civil society.
AGS research has been
presented in several hundred articles published in peer-reviewed
journals and public magazines. The research also appears in more
than a dozen books aimed at both students and decision makers. The
AGS book series, 'Science
and Technology: Tools for Sustainable Development' (Springer)
has published nine volumes with more in the pipeline. Nearly 100
Masters and PhD theses have also been completed with AGS support,
and several hundred AGS-related presentations have been made at
conferences around the world.
The AGS also ensures this
knowledge sharing through its Annual
and Technical
Meetings which offer researchers and invited guests from
industry, government, and civil society the opportunity to meet to
discuss ongoing research or to explore opportunities for new
collaboration.
