Research & Degrowth International, a think-and-act-tank dedicated to the radical transformation of our economies and societies through research, advocacy, education, training and events around degrowth.
As stewards of a more equitable and ecologically balanced
world, R&Di stands at the forefront of a movement challenging
the relentless pursuit of growth.
We are driven by the belief that a flourishing society can thrive
without perpetually expanding its economic footprint, and we
invite you to join us in reshaping the narrative towards a
degrowth-oriented paradigm.
What we do
RESEARCH AND
ADVOCACY
We actively engage in
research and advocacy
to promote sustainable
and equitable
alternatives to the
prevailing growth-centric
economic model.
Through collaborative
efforts, we develop
debate-changing policies
and bring together
stakeholders from
politics and social
movements. In our Living
Labs we experiment with
putting degrowth into
practise through
prioritizing well-being,
social justice, and
environmental
stewardship over
perpetual economic
expansion.
EDUCATION AND
TRAINING
We develop education
initiatives for young
activists and university
graduates. In our two
Master’s Degrees in
collaboration with ICTA-
UAB, we teach students
on Degrowth, Political
Ecology and
Environmental Justice.
Our yearly summer
schools provide an
opportunity for embodied
learning on ecology,
economics and policy in
Barcelona and Catalonia
EVENTS
ORGANIZATION
With our team we
participate in organizing
events locally and
internationally, such as
the 2023 Beyond
Growth Conference in
the European
Parliament as well as
the International
Degrowth Conferences.
SYSTEMIC CHANGE
At Research & Degrowth
International, our
mission is to advance
the principles of
degrowth in today’s
world. Our work is
aimed at inspiring
systemic change.
Together, we are
committed to shaping a
more balanced and
harmonious relationship
between humanity and
the planet.
What the
collaborators

infinite growth”
Timothée Parrique
“Research & Degrowth stands

innovative and future-oriented
organizations out there. Its
contributions to degrowth are
extremely valuable in the fight
for a socially and ecologically
just future.”
