On Friday, I participated in the doctoral defense of Janneke van der Leer at Chalmers University. In her thesis, Experimenting for Sustainability: Institutional Capacity Building in Swedish Sustainable Urban Development Projects, Janneke analysed three Swedish case studies (Kvillebäcken, Vallastaden, and Brunnshög) to produce new insights on how local governments develop institutional capacity for energy transitions. Congratulations to Janneke, her supervisors (Paula Femenias and Kaj Granath), and the SOTEK project team!
