The project, which has an interdisciplinary approach, includes three doctoral students - one at Lund University (IIIEE), one at Linköping University and one at Stockholm Environmental Institute. The project is funded by the Swedish Energy Agency and the doctoral students will be part of the national interdisciplinary graduate school in Energy Systems.
The aim of the project is to increase the capacity of cities to govern transformative change towards sustainable and climate-neutral energy systems. The focus of the project is on the evaluation of transformative policy tools for climate-neutral energy system, and the development of an interdisciplinary evaluation framework that will allow for building strategies of continuous, learning-oriented evaluation approaches that can make the implementation of new transformative policy instruments more effective.
The doctoral student at the IIIEE will focus on the evaluation of public procurement for system innovation, taking into account aspects of how procurement programs support a transformative change of local energy systems, technology change (including technology performance), various learning processes related to innovation, and institutional change.
