  2. Background Information History • Energy & Environment (TBdk) • Transition studies (TIW/IS) • Sustainability studies (TDO/Set) MSC projects • Innovation Management • Innovation Sciences • Sustainable Energy Technologies

  3. Topics & Mentors (1) • Strategic Niche Management • Introduction of sustainable technologies • Strategic: long term goal is transition to more sustainable societal systems (energy, transport), radical innovation needed • Niche: temporary protected space • Management: analysis and setup of social experiments • Examples • Strategic Niche Management for biofuels (Province Noord-Brabant) • Socialinnovations and socialentrepreneurship (TU/e) • VeryLargeScale PV systems in desertregions (TU/e, IEA) • Artisanal gold mining in Surinam (Surinam) • Mentors: Rob Raven, Geert Verbong, others

  4. Topics & Mentors (2) • Transition studies and system innovations • Focus on (future) energy and transport infrastructures • Scenario studies: socio-technical scenario’s • Regulatory issues: stimulation innovation in infrastructures • Innovationmanagement: new business models • Energy and Innovationpolicy • Examples • Scenario’s forhydrogen as anautomotivefuel (Shell) • Gridconnectedelectricitystorage: opportunitiesforKema (Kema) • Power to change: the Indian example (India, Kema) • Futurearrangementsfor Smart Grids (Enexis) • Mentors: Geert Verbong, Rob Raven, others

  5. Topics & Mentors (3) • Industrial Ecology • Energy saving and efficiency, energy management and Eco-industrial parks • Examples • The closed greenhouse: Research on energy conservation and process integration in a novel type of greenhouse. • The advantage of PV power generation (Corus, IJmuiden) • Energy assessment of a poultry slaughterhouse, aimed at the design of a new plant (Stork/Marin) • A new system for thermal solar aimed at use in hotels in the Mediterranean area (Wattpic) • Modal shifts at Van Gansewinkel group (Van Gansewinkel) • Lighting equipment for the lower market segment in developing countries (Philips Lighting) • Mentors: Fred Lambert, Geert Verbong, Arjan Kirkels

  6. Additionalinformation • External or internal research projects • Usually at a company • Research project abroad also an option • Open forspecificproposals • Obligatory courses • Some background in thermodynamics • Strategic Niche Management (0C940) • System Innovation: the role of governance (0C941, 0EM25) • Seealsohttp://www.transitionstudies.org/
