The Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) is seeking to commission an evaluation of the Research Group on Lifestyles, Values and Environment. The Research Group was a cross-disciplinary research collaboration between four separate groups based at the University of Surrey, with the aim developing a robust understanding of the links between lifestyle, societal values and environment.

The evaluation will be undertaken by an independent consultant and will provide:

• accountability to the ESRC for its investment in the Research Group
• feedback for those supported under the Group
• through publication of the executive summary, information and guidance for those in academic, policy and practitioner communities
• guidance on future priorities for ESRC (where appropriate).

To find out more information about the evaluation and to receive a copy of the Evaluation Brief, please contact Caroline Curtis at caroline.curtis@esrc.ac.uk. The deadline for the submission of tenders is 12.00 on 16 February 2012.
