Technology and Sustainable Development Group, University of Twente, the NetherlandsThe TSD takes as its starting point for research that poverty is a multidimensional condition requiring more complex solutions than solely income generation. Within this context of more complex solutions, the overarching theme of the Section's research is governance of technology for development, focusing on management of natural resources, in particular forestry, energy, and water.The expertise of the TSG in development issues is recognised by international agencies, such as the World Bank, FAO and UNDP, as well as donor organisations, such as DGIS and SIDA, who request staff members to act in advisory capacities to their projects and programmes. Studies are also undertaken on behalf of non-governmental organisations and the private sector. In January 2007 TSD appointed a new professor of "Sustainable Development in North South Perspective" for the group. Prof. dr. Jon C. Lovett is also the Director of the Centre for Ecology, Law and Policy at the University of York in England. His experiences include more than 12 years living and working in developing countries on a wide range of projects and has published extensively on natural resource management. His current research is focused on the broader implications of climate change, including the impacts of a shift to biofuels, and the institutional economics of decentralised community management of forests. He has lead and participated in numerous externally funded projects with support from the EU, research councils, government development agencies, non-governmental organisations and industry.
