Gisle Solbu
About
I am a senior researcher in Science and Technology Studies working at the Center for Technology and Society (Norwegian university of science and technology). In my research I am interested in exploring questions related to sustainability with focus on strategies for energy transitions and analysing the complex processes and interest trade-offs involved in the adaption of new energy practices, green technologies and green mobility into society.
Within the Norwegian center for energy transition strategies (FME NTRANS), I am leading research area 1 on "Deep decarbonization and wide societal changes".
https://www.ntnu.edu/ntrans/research-area-1
I am also project leader of the "DRIVERS" project wich explores the digitalization and autmatization of the Norwegian transport system.
https://prosjektbanken.forskningsradet.no/en/project/FORISS/283354
In my current work I have a particular interest for the topics of socio-technical acceleration, sustainability governance, energy citizenship and energy justice.
I have previously worked a lot on issues related to the governance of emerging technologies and on the concept of responsible research and innovation (RRI)
My background:
Ph.D in Science and Technology Studies (STS)
