SONNET Energy Transitions

It is hard to believe: today is SONNET’s last day. We are so proud of what we accomplished, but it is sad to say goodbye! Our website will live on and our outputs are summarised in a new Toolkit sonnet-energy.eu/wp-content/res…, which can help you to keep advancing energy transitions ⚡️

We @Fraunhofer_ISI thank all partners & collaborators for the amazing joint journey these past 3 years – it has been a great pleasure to coordinate @SONNET_energy. Check out our toolkit 👉 sonnet-energy.eu/wp-content/res… & video 🎥 youtu.be/nSDp08Hd4bM @ICLEI_Europe @SPRU @drifteur

“I hope [energy & climate policymakers] recognise the massive potential that #SocialInnovation in energy has to offer to accelerate #sustainable & #just #EnergyTransitions... and that they integrate policies harnessing this potential.” – @karogge 📽️ buff.ly/3MRmS0U

SONNET's final (😭) video is now online! It is great to see how far we've come since our introductory video years ago. Watch for a breakdown of our work & resources, which aim to help harness #SocialInnovation to advance #EnergyTransitions 👉 youtu.be/nSDp08Hd4bM

Don't miss the Joint Policy Brief assembled by @SocialRESeu with @SONNET_energy @CometsH2020 and @NEWCOMERS_H2020. It presents a set of recommendations for EU policy makers on how to better harness and support social innovation for #energytransitions. socialres.eu/news/joint-pol…

We are so proud of this catalogue of Energy Reads and Infographics, and the ways that they help make our academic research accessible and useable for all. Browse the full catalogue at: sonnet-energy.eu/project-output…, and please share these resources with anyone who they can help 💚

5⃣- SOCIAL INNOVATION IN EUROPE is our final and newest (❗️) Energy Read. It bridges the local & EU, examining how local SIEs help meet EU goals, and how the EU can better harness SIE's full, transformative potential: 📕: sonnet-energy.eu/wp-content/upl… 📈: sonnet-energy.eu/wp-content/upl…

For two years now, SONNET has summarised our in-depth research into visual, succinct, readable #EnergyReads and #Infographics. We are proud to share that the entire five-part Energy Read & Infographic series are now available on our website 👉 sonnet-energy.eu/project-output… /1

“SONNET found that up to 90% of citizens surveyed would be interested in investing in #SocialInnvation in energy if the conditions are right. That is the task for policy makers & researchers to carry forward – to identify how we can harness this potential.” #energytransitions

Happy Birthday @FraunhoferISI - it was my great pleasure to contribute to the Brussels celebrations by moderating such a timely panel discussion on #policymix requirements in the Zeitenwende - and by co-hosting the breakout group on #socialinnovation. @SONNET_energy

Have you also been daydreaming about the great conference we held last month?! We now have a summary post on our website, including links to additional sources like the slide deck from Dr. Julia Wittmayer (@drifteur)'s inspiring keynote. Check it out 👉 sonnet-energy.eu/2022/05/11/how…

Launching a social innovation project in the energy sector is a challenge: @SocialRES produced useful guidelines for successful social innovations to facilitate and support the implementation of energy-related projects. Read them here 👉bit.ly/3soPeHy #energycommunity

And so begins the next stage of our adventure, to work out how best can we help bring about #SustainableJustCities. Our 9 experimenters from around Europe met in Berlin yesterday, amazing projects, amazing city. How best can we make a transformational #CommunityofPractice? #SDG11

Our sincere thanks to all the speakers and participants who contributed to the last two days of discussion on the pathway forward for #people-centred #EnergyTransition ⚡️ Let’s keep up the momentum ➡️ read, share and apply our policy brief: bit.ly/JointPolicyBri…

Eoghan Kinirons of @EUScienceInnov confirms: we have the solutions we need - we now need to figure out how to roll them out.
