Partner, senior researcher and advisor at DuneWorks - Eindhoven, North Brabant, Netherlands
DuneWorks is a research and advice SME with a long-standing experience and expertise in sociotechnical transitions, with a focus on energy and nature based solutions. We do (action)research, translate knowledge into strategies or strategic advice (e.g. on business modelling, transitions, or behavioural change), develop intervention approaches to improve user and citizen engagement and behavioural change processes, develop monitoring and evaluation frameworks to support efforts towards a more sustainable and just energy future and support participatory, dialogue and co-creation multi-stakeholder processes. We translate and target our findings to various target groups, using methods based on storytelling.When we address the social, physical and political-institutional aspects of (energy) transition processes, we take the end-users (people in their daily life and work, entrepreneurs developing technologies or business models, but also authorities developing policy, or housing corporations renovating a neighbourhood, etc.) as a point of departure to see how they are involved in and/or affected.We combine a diverse range of social-disciplinary backgrounds (e.g. innovation/transition studies; urban planning; geography; anthropology; policy studies and political science).
