About the SPEER
Project
The central objective of the
SPEER Project was to create a European network of active researchers
interested in combining economics and social psychology to improve
understanding of environmental problems and policy responses.
Environmental research in Europe has been developing somewhat separately
in economics and psychology while addressing common themes. SPEER aimed to
increase communication between these disciplines in order to advance the
interpretation of existing work on environmental problems and methods for
mitigation, and to identify new areas for cooperation. A philosophical
perspective on methodology and the meaning of concepts in environmental
research (e.g. valuation) was seen as a key component of this
process.
