Véronique Vasseur (PhD) is a post-doctoral research fellow at ICIS. She wrote her PhD thesis (2014) on the role of government and users in the diffusion of solar energy in the Netherlands. After she defended, she worked for a year on the EU-funded TRANSIT project, exploring transformative social innovation like Time Banks and Ashoka to understand and support the emergence of a more sustainable and just “New Economy”. She currently studies energy efficiency for passenger transport and energy use of households in cities (HEEC-project). Veronique is teaching and supervising on the Master's programme: Sustainability Science and Policy (SSP).
Based on her expertise, Veronique will support Julia Backhaus in (leading) the practical roll-out and monitoring of the ENERGISE Living Labs and ensure a smooth translation of questions and findings across the science-policy interface throughout the project.
