What is the relationship between TIPC and the Deep Transitions project?
When the Transformative Innovation Policy Consortium (TIPC) launched in 2016, part of the rationale provided for its conception was that the world is in a ‘Deep Transition’. This was reasoned by TIPC founder, 约翰·肖特教授,当时的董事 萨塞克斯大学商学院科学政策研究部 (SPRU). This global shift, coined the ‘Second Deep Transition’, has sustainability at its core – unlike the ‘First Deep Transition’ which does not.
第一次 DT 始于工业革命之初,一直持续到今天。在提高许多人的生活水平的同时,这种深度转型也导致了我们现在面临的气候和不平等挑战。
TIPC works towards answering how we may successfully transform towards a second, new, sustainable ‘Deep Transition’ to centre behaviours and practices that stop the earth crisis we are in. TIPC is part of the ‘prescription’ for this Deep Transition ‘diagnosis’ , happening across the World.

行动研究
This TIPC and Deep Transitions thinking has evolved across two research projects to created a ‘cognitive space’ for dialogue, experimentation, reflection and learning towards policy and investment for a sustainability revolution. Currently these projects – the 转型创新政策联盟 (TIPC) 和 Deep Transitions Futures Panel for Transformative Investment (TI) – interplay for increased influence and impact within differing arenas for the same end – Transformative Outcomes (TOs). These sister projects work in distinct spaces with associated actors to achieve sustainability goals within their discourse, context and ‘rules’. The former, TIPC, acts within the policy field, involving government innovation funding agencies and policymakers from across Africa, Latin America and Europe; and latterly, the Deep Transitions project, and specifically, the Futures stage (Deep Transitions Futures – DTF), involves coordination with the global investment sector.
The DTF project – that centres on creating 转型投资 (TI) 在金融领域 – 价值观一致,旨在制定 变革性创新政策 (TIP) 在政府科学、技术和创新 (STI) 政策中. 他们共享由全球历史和可持续发展转型教授 Johan Schot 领导的同一个创始团队。中心前提是 变革性创新 (TI) 和 变革性创新政策 (TIP) 相互推崇,相互带动,成为21世纪金融和政策领域的前沿和中心英石 世纪的第二次深度转型。来自这两个研究项目的计划、实验、想法和成果为公民社会提供了帮助,以引导我们走向我们需要的世界的方向。
迈向变革性成果
利用这项研究和参与,由学术合作伙伴——苏塞克斯大学商学院的英国科学政策研究部门 (SPRU) 协调;荷兰乌得勒支大学全球挑战中心;和 INGENIO,位于瓦伦西亚理工学院的科学和创新部门——这些领域内的网络正在开发、原型设计和实施新活动,以推动实现可持续的变革成果 (TO)。
TIPC 和 Deep Transitions Futures 都支持通往绿色和公正转型的道路,对于 21英石 世纪,国家和地区的转型让我们走上了一条新的道路,而是带领世界走向脱碳和可持续性革命,即第二次深度转型。如果没有这种情况发生,我们将继续走在命运多舛的第一次深度转变的道路上。
网络、中介和影响
除了影响政策和投资领域的核心受众,两个姊妹项目的工作理念和成果(转型创新政策联盟 (TIPC) 和 Deep Transitions Futures Panel for Transformative Investment (TI)) 旨在为非政府组织、社会运动和公民社会提供信息,以影响人们的行为以及我们赖以生存的社会消费和生产“规则”。



“The policymakers, signed up to be part of TIPC, are ‘investing’ too. They fund public and private projects to create transformative change. Like investors injecting capital, policymakers pay for projects and programmes, so in this sense they are investing just like the private investment sector does. With the Deep Transition Futures project we are stretching our transformative aims and outcomes to the private sector. We need coordination across the private and public spheres with strong leadership on transformative investment, be it in the public or private realms, towards sustainability. The value and return on this sustainable investment will be felt across all world. “
