CERES
Research School for Resource Studies for Development.

CERES has been the co-ordinating body for development oriented research in the Netherlands since its inception in 1992. Wageningen University is one of the six core academic institutions participating in CERES. The general mission of CERES is to study global transformations and their manifestations at local and regional levels in contemporary society.

The research of CERES-Wageningen wants to bring international, comparative and interdisciplinary research perspectives to bear on core concerns of food security, resources, environment and inequality and to contribute towards a repositioning of technical sciences for the benefit of excluded groups. Examples of current research themes are technology, nature and social process; institutions and livelihoods in extreme circumstances; governance and green and blue spaces; science and the knowledge market; global food chains; daily life social transformations.

The research of CERES-Wageningen finds intellectual inspiration in three interrelated domains of social theory. Most research projects may theoretically fit into more than one domain.

  • State, risk and society
  • Knowledgde, technology and social transformation
  • Processes of distribution and management of natural resources
