N1 - Funding Information:
The core administration of the Project, at least, can rely on an externally funded International Project Office. This office was first located, for one year, with the secretariat of the International Human Dimensions Programme, which provided crucial seed support for the Earth System Governance Project. During 2011–2018, the International Project Office was hosted and fully financed by Lund University, with central support by the Lund University Centre for Sustainability Studies. From 2019 onwards, the Office will be hosted and financed by Utrecht University, with core funding by Utrecht’s Faculty of Geosciences, which also supported the 2018 annual conference of the network [ 38 ].
Funding Information:
We are grateful to Lund University, Sweden and Utrecht University, Netherlands, for hosting the International Project Office of the Earth System Governance Project in 2011?2018 (Lund) and since 2019 (Utrecht).

N2 - The social sciences have engaged since the late 1980s in international collaborative programmes to study questions of sustainability and global change. This article offers an in-depth analysis of the largest long-standing social-science network in this field: the Earth System Governance Project. Originating as a core project of the former International Human Dimensions Programme on Global Environmental Change, the Earth System Governance Project has matured into a global, self-sustaining research network, with annual conferences, numerous taskforces, research centers, regional research fellow meetings, three book series, an open access flagship journal, and a lively presence in social media. The article critically reviews the experiences of the Earth System Governance network and its integration and interactions with other programmes over the last decade.
