Hei 👋 🦋 We have been on @bluesky for a while, but now we will increase our activity there. Let us know if you are over there 🙌 👉Join us (and our researchers) on Blu*sky - uibcet. We have decided to deactivate this account by the end of 2024.

📢 CALL FOR ABSTRACTS 📢 The #BeyondOil25: Changing Climate Futures conference in Bergen on October 22 & 23, 2025, is now open for abstract submissions. 📆 Submit by March 28th, 2025 uib.no/en/cet/17307... 📷 Thor Brødreskift & Beyond Oil 2023 art by Håvard Legreid

Our recent @NatureClimate paper w @tkazlou & @acherp argues there is little hope #ccs can grow fast enough for 1.5°C target. The 2°C target is realistic only if CCS failures drop & CCS eventually grows as fast as mainstream energy technologies. nature.com/articles/s4155…

Great discussion today on the current political moment, and how we should reimagine sustainable urbanism. Thanks for engaging, @VaneBailo and others at #RSAWinter conference. @UiBCET

I am migrating, or escaping, rather, to where the skies are blue. Find me there at havardhaarstad and so on. Also, @UiBCET is really worth a follow over there, join its almost 3,000 followers, at uibcet etc. My account here will be deleted at the end of this year.

Really nice to be at the @UiBCET retreat this autumn, the first time I've been able to make it across for this gathering since our daughter was born. It is so important to convene as a group in convivial ways, bond and take stock, share space and time. Grateful to be part of it!

Real big congrats @HuiwenGong and the magnificent bunch of collaborators you've brought together for this project just funded by @forskningsradet (on your first try)! I look forward to collaborating on researching the Nordic battery value chain from @UiBCET these next four years!

A Tuesday evening well spent. Thoughtful reflections on poetry, research, compassion, solidarity and the ecologies of knowledge (and not forgetting apocalyptic catastrophes) with two impressive academics @HolbergPrize laureate @AchilleMbembe1 and Nils Klim laureate @sidsareen

A great Day 1 of the Holberg Week will be wrapped up with a conversation between the Laurates at the House of Literature in Bergen. Achille Mbembe and Siddharth Sareen will speak about their background, their research and their experiences from academia. Moderator: Associate Professor Kari Jegerstedt, University of Bergen. The event starts shortly. Watch the livestream on the link below. holbergprize.org/en/evening-hol…

Incredibly proud of friend, colleague and collaborator @sidsareen, who is now starting the Nils Klim lecture marking his award. @UiBCET @HolbergPrize

Reflect & Act: Energy Social Sciences and Impact. Thank you @sidsareen and @HolbergPrize for putting together this Nils Klim symposium. An afternoon of reflections on transformation, power, action, knowledge, community and care. 📣A wake up call for academia.

The 2024 Nils Klim Seminar, in honour of Laureate Siddharth Sareen, is about to start. The topic is "Reflect and Act: Energy Social Science and Impact!" Watch the livestream on the link below. In addition to the Laureate, the panel will consist of Professor Mariel Aguilar-Støen (University of Oslo), Professor Harald Rohracher (Linköping University), and Professor Andy Stirling (University of Sussex). holbergprize.org/en/nils-klim-s…

"De som er i best posisjon til å sette i gang nødvendige endringer, er samtidig ofte de som tjener på å opprettholde status quo. Det betyr at de ikke har like stor interesse for å forandre fundamentale ting som sosial ulikhet eller forbrukerkultur. Kapitalismen dominerer globalt, og gjør at ressurser betraktes og behandles som varer. Dette framprovoserer klimaendringer fordi store selskaper forurenser mye, og legger kostnaden og risikoen over på staten og andre sosiale aktører."

Welcome to the first day of the 2024 Holberg Week, where we celebrate Holberg Laureate Achille Mbembe and Nils Klim Laureate Siddharth Sareen! We hope you will enjoy this week's events. Se full programme with livestream links here: holbergprize.org/en/the-holberg…

New paper: We analysed the actions outlined the Climate Action Plans of 19 major cities - 1079 actions in total - to find out how many of them are 'soft'. Surprised to find that the majority of planned actions are soft - lobbying, incentivising, raising awareness. @UiBCET

The artwork features a poem written by @sidsareen and its thrust is captured in the highlighted quote 🚲 “Electric bicycles are the unsung hero of urban transport transitions”. The artwork is part of the research project ROLES: Responsive Organising for Low Emission Societies”.

Be sure to stop by Smauet Cafe in NG5 at @UiB during @HolbergPrize week. There you will find the textile painting “Inclusion, Commoning, Organising” which is an art-science collaboration between Nils Klim Laureate @sidsareen and artist Margrethe Brekke.

Great week at work! @pergroe and I have organised the PhD-course Theory and Practice in Sustainability Transformations, with a group of 27 dedicated doctoral researchers. Bergen and Oslo, with train ride between. @EmpFutures @McNeishProf @UiBCET
