Energy Systems Modelling Group
In this project, we wish to explore the public sentiment towards wind energy by analysing the Norwegian Twittersphere
In this interdisciplinary workshop we invite energy system modellers with curiosity about inclusion of social aspects and social scientists open to explore links between their work on energy issues and energy system modelling to explore new ways to model energy systems
The transition away from a society and energy system that primarily rely on fossil fuels is a challenge that requires rapid changes and interventions at the local, national and international level. However, this transition comes with the risk of creating winners and losers both between and within countries. Active engagement in understanding and minimising injustices may prevent existing injustices from becoming greater or for new ones to emerge.
In this seminar, we will briefly go through the concept of socially inclusive energy transitions, why it is important and what frameworks may be used to analyse social justice.
PhD researchers Oskar Vågerö, Maximilian Roithner and Aleksander Grochowicz will discuss challenges and opportunities for Svalbard's energy transition based on 3-week course they attended.
Join if you are interested in Svalbard's energy future and related research or taking a Master course at UNIS on Svalbard!
