About the Author
Julius Wesche is a researcher at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). He has a Ph.D. from Utrecht University and has twelve years of experience working at Fraunhofer and NTNU. A former Steering Group member of the Sustainability Transitions Research Network, he has worked extensively on low-carbon technologies, and explores the interplay of technological change, policy, and societal dynamics in sustainability transitions. His podcasts have been streamed over a million times, and he helps scientists enhance their visibility and influence through social media, so that their research can have greater impact. Abe Hendriks studies sustainability transitions at the Copernicus Institute at Utrecht University. As a former representative to the Steering Group of the Sustainability Transitions Research Network, one of Abe's key objectives is to foster discussions about knowledge (dissemination) in sustainability transitions. In his on-going and previous research, he examines the role that imagined futures play in how sustainability transitions are being governed. His Ph.D. research was on the role that imaginaries of a circular economy play in sustainability transitions.
