main research interests include social-cultural aspects of domestic energy
consumption and energy efficiency; social innovations; responsibility in
research and innovation; socio-economic impacts of science and research;
and safe and responsible use of digital technologies among children and
young people.
Eimear Heaslip completed her B.Arch. (HoNS) in Architecture at
University College Dublin, graduating in 2007. In 2012 Eimear completed an M.Sc. in Environmental systems in GMIT and received the
GMIT ‘President’s Forty Year Scholarship’ to undertake her transdisciplinary Ph.D., which fused social scientific and engineering techniques
to develop a technical energy plan with the case study community in
Inis oírr. Eimear is currently working as a Postdoctoral Researcher on
the ENERGISE (European Network for Research, Good Practice and
Innovation for Sustainable Energy) project and as an Assistant Lecturer
in Environmental Planning based in the School of Geography at NUI
Galway.
Eva Heiskanen is Professor of sustainable consumption at University of
Helsinki, Finland. Research interests: the adoption and impacts of new
technology in society, sustainable consumption policies, evaluation and
learning from interventions and experimentation.
Marfuga Iskandarova is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Small
Business Research Centre, at Kingston Business School. Her doctoral
research at the University of Exeter focused on development of renewable energy technologies in the UK. Marfuga’s research interests include
innovation, energy policy, and sustainable consumption. She is currently working on the European Commission Horizon 2020-funded
‘ENERGISE’ project investigating socio-economic, cultural and political
aspects of energy consumption.
Charlotte Jensen is Assistant Professor at Aalborg University,
Copenhagen. She has an M.Sc. in innovation and environmental management from the Technical University in Denmark, and holds a Ph.D.
in sociology of technology, consumption and transition from Aalborg
University. Charlotte’s research focuses on exploring links between consumption and production patterns, and environmental and social implications thereof. Several of her publications deal with social scientific
understandings of (energy) demand, hereunder the wider implications of
such approaches for energy policy and (sustainable) change.
