The book concludes with the reflections of the project’s scientific coordinator about the cooperation in the RTD part of the project.

The project CORPUS: Enhancing the Connectivity between Research and Policy-making in Sustainable Consumption, funded by the European Commission has been working on and testing novel ways of knowledge brokerage between researchers and policy-makers, in three domains of sustainable consumption (food, mobility, housing), in order to enhance evidence-based policy-making and to develop a policy-led research approach. A research agenda has been published in order to set the stage of research in sustainable housing for the coming years, with the goal of advancing towards more sustainable consumption. The research agenda highlights four main thematic strands that define the major areas where sustainable housing research should converge: social issues and behavioural aspects; planning and the policy’s viewpoint; assessment and decision tools; and energy and technology.
