After nearly five years, the ROADWORK project ended in February 2023. We thank all our research participants for their time and patience, academic friends and fellow research projects for being a constant inspiration, and the Swiss National Science Foundation for having funded the project and supported us also in the difficult time of the global pandemic.
New research projects on meat production and consumption in Asia, on global Muslim humanitarian aid networks, and on the decentralized, community-owned hydro-power production in Switzerland and Latin America have already began or are beginning soon!
