How does Europe's automotive industry remain competitive?
Listen to Bennett Institute's Associate Professor Karoline Rogge @karogge.bsky.social introduce a new policy paper proposing the introduction of a Community Acceleration Survey for the automotive industry.

🗓️ After IST2025 is before IST2026: mark your calendars for August 31 to September 2, 2026 in Zurich🇨🇭- where the @transitionsnetwork.bsky.social meets again. The „actors in accelerating transitions“ co-chairs thank all session participants for stimulating discussions of current research. ✨
IST’25 is on: Florian Kern, chair of @transitionsnetwork.bsky.social, introducing what STRN does & how far we have come since 2009. This time, I am co-organising track 6 on actors in accelerating transitions: 7 sessions today & tomorrow - looking forward to the discussions in ED4_A306_Aud & beyond.
One more week to apply for our Special Issue on "Accelerating Net-Zero Transitions" in Research Policy. Aimed at insights from innovation studies, policy studies & other social sciences. Wide-ranging themes, including deliberate deceleration, see call for abstracts: www.sussex.ac.uk/business-sch...

Aus aktuellem Anlass: Wie funktioniert eigentlich das umstrittene "Verbrenner-Aus"? Tatsächlich ist es viel besser als sein Ruf! Hier die neuesten Erkenntnisse aus der Innovationsforschung - für fundiertere Debatten: www.sussex.ac.uk/webteam/gate...
@sussexnrggroup.bsky.social @empoci.bsky.social
Wochenendlektüre: Verbrenner-Aus fördert zukunftsweisende Innovationen und stärkt die internationale Wettbewerbsfähigkeit der deutschen und europäischen Automobilindustrie. Fazit: unbedingt unverwässert beibehalten, und durch weitere Maßnahmen flankieren.
With our new @empoci.bsky.social policy brief we hope to contribute to a more informed debate on the future of the European automotive industry. In short: maintain the phase-out policies to ensure innovation and international competitiveness. For details, read on: www.sussex.ac.uk/webteam/gate...
Thanks for the great compilation. Our new @empoci.bsky.social policy brief shares insights into how such phase-out targets influence corporate decision making in the automotive industry: it shows how these targets actually help in the global innovation race: www.sussex.ac.uk/webteam/gate...
Consistent phase-out policies actually help European carmakers, according to our new policy brief! 📚
It argues that while the transition to electric vehicles is disruptive, it is also inevitable. In the long run, delays will only hurt the European automotive industry.

When do incumbents adopt radical net-zero technologies? In our new paper, @alinescherrer.bsky.social and I are analysing differences in strategy trajectories of European truck manufacturers towards alternative vehicle technologies, and their determinants. Full paper here: doi.org/10.1016/j.te...
New JRC working paper with @paulakivimaa.bsky.social: How can strategic autonomy (OSA) be fitted together with achieving just sustainability transitions – and what are the practical means to pursue these dual policy objectives more effectively together: publications.jrc.ec.europa.eu/repository/h...
New method for mapping actors in (UK) policy consultations: helps to track how policy-subsystems are merging due to unfolding multi-system transitions (e.g. to e-mobility) or who participates and how this changes over time (policy, business, society, academia): www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Synergies and trade-offs when pursuing sustainability transitions and open strategic autonomy.

Advancing net-zero transitions requires addressing multiple challenges and navigating the "dual politics" of acceleration: political conflict on the DECLINE of old industries and the EXPANSION of the new system.

On the train to this year‘s #IST2024 International Sustainability Transitions conference 🌏 This year I am co-organising the grand #acceleration track with a fab team: come and join our discussions! @sussexnrggroup.bsky.social @empoci.bsky.social @alinescherrer.bsky.social @fraunhoferisi.bsky.social
Tomorrow's Energy & Climate Seminar is all about data.
Tilly Cook & Danny Magill from Citizen's Advice are talking about what the government & OFGEM can do to ensure no one is left behind as we move towards a data driven energy system.

Despite many negative headlines, the global EV sales grew by around a third last year. The IEA expects electric sales to increase by more than a fifth in 2024.
In Europe, T&E expects EV sales to resume growth - as carmakers race to meet EU CO2 targets next year - reaching 24% market share in 2025.
What are the most frequented flight routes in Europe?
A whopping 43 flights between London and Amsterdam departed every day last year, making it the second-busiest route in Europe despite a direct 4-hour train alternative.
It’s time to rethink how we travel in Europe.
Low-carbon innovations are crucial for net-zero, yet not without (unintended) negative consequences.
In my latest publication, I develop a typology of such negative consequences and put forward a research agenda!

📚 New article
Nicholas Goedeking (IDOS) and @karogge.bsky.social (@fraunhoferisi.bsky.social) argue for greater attention to what is termed the "dual politics" of acceleration during the #transition to #CleanEnergy in: 'Environmental Research Letters' 🔗 iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1....
As we are entering the #acceleration phase of net-zero transitions, new challenges are emerging: based on the electrification of transport in Germany and California, we introduce 3 additional challenge types and draw attention to the dual politics of acceleration. iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...
Absolutely pleased to see the great interest in our track on ACCELERATING sustainability transitions. There is still one more day to apply, as the deadline for abstract submissions to the IST conference got extended until Tuesday Feb 20, 12 noon CET. transitionsnetwork.org/ist-2024/cal...
Many of us are working from home a lot more than we used to.
But what does this mean for our carbon footprint? Join us on Tuesday for our first #Energy & #Climate seminar of 2024 to find out!

New paper alert! 📢
"Home field advantage: examining incumbency reorientation dynamics in low-carbon transitions" co-authored with Johan Kask is now out in Environmental Innovation & Societal Transition!

ROLES' new policy toolkit is out, just in time for Urbanization and Built Environment/Transport Day at #COP28! If you're interested in how you can help spark an #inclusive digital #EnergyTransition to ease the path to #NetZero, read our new toolkit here: tinyurl.com/bdfbusjx
The EU AI Act can be seen as a highly relevant example illustrating why research on the acceleration phase of transitions must pay more attention to contestations around setting the new rules of the game, as these are determining the expanding trajectory: verfassungsblog.de/bigtechs-eff...
