About
Dr. Julius Wesche is an technological innovation systems and sustainability transitions researcher.
His main affiliation is the energy group at Department of Interdisciplinary Studies of Culture (KULT). He is also affiliated with the NTNU Energy Transition Initiative.
He earned a PhD from Utrecht University (NL) in 2021. The title of the thesis was: "Configurational Innovation Systems - Transition Dynamics and Actor Strategies in the German Heat Sector". In his research he focuses on actors and actor strategies in the Norwegian, German, and European energy transition.
Julius is a engaging speaker on innovation strategy and science communication topics.
He studied economics, sustainable development and energy policy in Hamburg, Kassel (both Germany) and Madison (USA). Between 2014 and 2021, he was an associate researcher in the Competence Center Energy Policy and Energy Markets at Fraunhofer ISI (Karlsruhe, Germany).
In 2021 he founded the Science Communication Accelerator to create a knowledge hub for digital science communication. He also consults universities and other knowledge organizations on how to use Social Media for communicating science and other complex topics - by developing their digital science communication, branding and outreach strategies.
