European Society for Ecological Economics (ESEE)

Welcome at the European Society for Ecological Economics (ESEE)!

ESEE is the European branch of the International Society of Ecological Economics (ISEE).

ESEE is a non-profit, member-governed, organisation dedicated to advancing understanding of the relationships among ecological, social and economic systems for the mutual well-being of nature and people.

ESEE publishes a newsletter and books (in association with various publishers); holds regional and international meetings; develops educational materials; and facilitates a voice for ecological economists in public forums.

ESEE provides a forum so that we might all better understand these issues. Add your voice to the discussion by becoming a member.

Elinor Ostrom awarded the Swedish Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel 2009

Elinor (Lin) Ostrom is this year awarded the 'Nobel Prize' in economics together with Oliver Williamson. As Lin is a member of ISEE and as she selected ESEE as her secondary regional affiliation, we would like to honor her and her work by posting this note. She has engaged with ESEE recently in several ways. As many remember, she was a key-note at the ESEE 2007 conference in Leipzig (some might even remember her dancing with the crowd). She participated as lecturer in the THEMES summer school in Slovakia the same year. Finally, several of us have been supported by her in our research. Her insights, engagement, open-mindedness and supportive engagement are something everybody knowing her highly appreciates.
