About us
“Research and real-world experience need each other...
Only by learning from one another can we accelerate transitions. The key for me is to work on the ground and be a doer.”
“How to make transitions inclusive and fair?
The most valuable answers are often found at the local level – in neighbourhoods, homes and round tables of local initiatives.”
“Working in the energy transition requires a deep understanding of the ‘social life of energy’.
Our social science approach brings that life to light.”
„As a kid I asked myself where all the concrete in the streets comes from...
As a researcher, I still come across surprising answers to this question.”
“I am eager to gather less heard perspectives...
…across a broad range of topics – community, energy, education, etcetera – and make them more heard.”
“Large groups of people are not yet involved in the energy transition...
But for transitions to flourish, everyone needs to feel engaged to participate and contribute.”
“Many problems of our time are complex and wicked...
Design thinking can help navigate the complexity of the most pressing transition issues of our time.”
"Access to energy, clean water, sanitation and nutrition...
…need to ensure dignity and the principles of justice.”
