Comment rendre la pose de panneaux solaires aussi désirable qu'une Tesla? C'est l'enjeu qu'aborde avec humour notre chroniqueuse, Glòria Serra Coch, doctorante @HERUS_EPFL, dont la thèse décortique le tournant énergétique en Suisse. @EPFL #energie actu.epfl.ch/news/l-energie-…

In a recent collaboration including our PhD candidate Matteo Barsanti, we introduce a modeling process for a co-simulation framework which aims to foster interdisciplinary collaboration considering multiple socio-technical elements of the energy system: link.springer.com/chapter/10…

🏙️ Cities cover just 2-3% of the Earth's land surface but host over 50% of the world's population and are responsible for 75% of CO2 emissions. How can we make these urban areas more sustainable? @epflENAC @HERUS_EPFL @UNHABITAT go.epfl.ch/kCL-en

At the annual HERUS retreat, we take the time to discuss the vision of our lab - an important moment to step back and reflect on what we have been working on, and where we hope to go in the coming year. Key words: #tippingpoints for #sustainability in #sociotechnicalsystems

A study by @LiviaFritz and @HERUS_EPFL found that Greta Thunberg’s Fridays for Future climate strikes have influenced the environmental behavior of Swiss residents. actu.epfl.ch/news/the-first-… @EPFL_en #FridaysForFuture #environment

Congratulations to the 3 interdisciplinary @EPFL-@unil CROSS projects chosen for 2024! These projects bring together natural sciences & engineering w/social sciences & humanities to address the carbon footprint, human-robot interface & virtual agents. actu.epfl.ch/news/three-new-…

Our recent publication led by Nicole Wiedmann and @arisatha analyses extraction, trade and pollution patterns of the 26 Swiss cantons. MFA at a infa-national scale enables territorial and economic policy-making that is contextually-specific. Read more: doi.org/10.1016/j.clrc.2023.…

Congratulations to Dr. Melissa Pang, for the successful defense of her dissertation! 🥳 Her research on spatially-explicit sustainability assessment puts local neighborhoods in the spotlight. Read one of her contributions here: doi.org/10.1177/239980832110… #GIS #Geneva

Nous venons de lancer la vague 2 de l'enquête "Panel lémanique" ! Objectif: mieux comprendre les habitudes de consommation des ménages le long de l'Arc lémanique pour identifier des leviers de changement et contribuer à l'Accord de Paris. 🌍 epfl.ch/labs/lasur/fr/index-…

Pablo Martínez Alcaraz carried out research on the segmentation of energy technology adopters in Switzerland. Having target groups allows policymakers to develop tailored strategies - an important 🔑 to the energy transition. Congrats to Pablo on a successful MSc thesis!

Our recent publication led by Glòria Serra Coch finds that people exchange information on photovoltaics with others who are socially and spatially close. Neighborhood connections can be leveraged for the energy transition: doi.org/10.1016/j.heliyon.20…
