The workshop "Real-world laboratories as a tool for a participatory energy transition: advances, methods and international cases" is part of the 4th energy & society conference "Energy Transitions in a divided world" which takes place 03-05 September 2018 in Exeter, UK.
The goal of the workshop is to advance international research efforts surrounding real-world laboratories (real-world labs) by systematizing and comparing results, approaches and reflections from different case studies. It addresses scholars working in the field of collaborative transition projects with various empirical subjects (including, but not limited to, transport, energy transition, higher education, water management, urban planning). Presentations may focus on methodological challenges, empirical findings, innovative transdisciplinary approaches and/ or epistemological reflections.
The workshop concept stems from the inter- and transdisciplinary ENavi-Project (“Navigational system for the energy transition”, funded by BMBF – Ministry for Education and Research, Germany).
