About

Specific expertise includes:

– INNOVATION RESISTANCE: understanding consumer/stakeholder resistance towards beneficial innovation, e.g. necessary in the context of climate adaptation or transition towards circular economy.

– AFFORDABLE INNOVATION: expertise on the question of how to create innovations for those parts of the society with limited resources, e.g., making circular innovations more affordable, so they can diffuse more widely and quickly. Also important in disaster situations where quick reliable and affordable solutions are needed.
