Welcome
Changing Behaviour is a project that aims to support change in energy use and energy services. We do so by applying social research on technological change to practical use. Our focus is on the interaction between energy experts and energy users: How can these different groups learn to understand each other better?

Changing Behaviour is an action research project. Researchers and practitioners work together to develop, test and refine tools for improved interaction that are sensitive to context, timing and the needs of different users and stakeholders.

Changing Behaviour is a European project that is funded by the EU 7th Framework Programme Energy theme (contract number: 213217). The project partners are from Estonia, Finland, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands and the UK.

ThinkTank keen on CHANGING BEHAVIOUR
Monday, 31 August 2009 15:59

iStock_000009029081XSmall.jpgYnke Feenstra (ECN) presented the outcomes of the case study analysis of WP2 during the Summer School of the Dutch National ThinkTank. The members of the ThinkTank were very enthusiastic about the research performed in CHANGING BEHAVIOUR, the outcomes of the case studies and the recommendations for future Demand Side Management programmes.

The ThinkTank is a multidisciplinary group of high potential young master students and PhDs. The aim of the ThinkTank is to come up with creative, innovative but practical solutions for a societal problem. The assignment for the ThinkTank of 2009 is "how can we motivate consumers to save energy and to choose for renewable (decentralised) energy resources". After the Summer School in August, in which external experts present their visions on the assignment, the ThinkTank has 2 months to describe solutions for the assignment and present these to representatives of the government, industries and science. Often these outcomes are picked up widely in media and used in the design of new policies.
