[short one-liner on project/initiative]
General introduction
TRUST (social innovation sTRategies for sUSTainability transitions) is a FCT research project that focus on sustainability transition initiatives supported by social learning and innovation as important factors that drive transformative change in social-ecological systems for community development. The goal is to contribute to create locally based sustainability transitions initiatives, boosting transformative processes, through social innovation strategies, that can enable changes in approaches, routines, practices, systems and mind-sets. The project adopts a participatory research and multi-actor approach with empirical observations in both urban and rural social-ecological contexts from three Portuguese case study regions: Lisbon, Aveiro and Évora. The TRUST project started in September 2018 and will run until August 2021.
