Participation and Knowledge Sharing
The Energy Transition is not only a technical process, but also a social process that affects everyone. The involvement of stakeholders in local decision-making processes is therefore essential for the success of the transformation of energy systems.
Our aim is to make the complex issue of energy system transformation accessible to people outside the field. In our tools and workshops, we take into account the needs and objections of residents, nature conservation organizations, and policy makers.
Stakeholders are involved and individual energy system transformation projects are visualized and objectified in the form of interactive web applications. In this way, individual solutions for the respective regions are created in discussions.
