The Leibniz Research Alliance is hosting an international conference
entitled "Breaking the Rules! Energy Transitions as Social Innovations
"
that will take place on June 14th - 15th, 2018, at *WZB Berlin Social
Science Center.
The conference invites international scholars to discuss social
innovations in the context of energy transitions, and to spark a debate
about their meaning for theories of social innovation, for questions of
energy governance, for the evolution of social energy innovations and
how they challenge existing power structures in the energy sector. The
conference is guided by four overarching themes, each of which will be
explored in at least two conference sessions.
