On Friday 29th June 2018, during the 3rd SCORAI International Conference, the ENERGISING RESEARCH WORKSHOP took place from 9am - 10.30am. The aim was to draw on insights from three large European energy projects (ENERGISE, ENTRUST & SHAPE ENERGY) to explore some of the opportunities and challenges involved when trying to spread or diffuse knowledge and good-practices on local energy transitions in policy spheres, academia, and wider society. Over 20 attendees articipated in the 90-minute workshop, which adopted a world café style format. Following a short introduction to each of the three projects, participants were asked to consider and collectively discuss the following questions:
1. What challenges do you see when trying to spread/diffuse knowledge/best-practices on local energy transitions in (1) policy (2) academia, (3) wider society?
2. What strategies have you experienced or would you expect to work well to overcome/address these challenges?
The report summarizes the response of workshop participants to these questions. The report can be downloaded from here: http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1434805.
2.The SHAPE ENERGY project recently published an edited book about Lessons on the Integration of Social Sciences and Humanities into energy policy. ENERGISE researchers Audley Genus, Frances Fahy, Gary Goggins, Marfuga Iskandarova, and Senja Laakso contributed a chapter on „Imaginaries and Practices: Learning from ‘ENERGISE’ About the Integration of Social Sciences with the EU Energy Union”.
