The main objective of the workshop is to gain insights into Social Innovations in Energy, and to use this as crucial input for a collaboratively written article as well as a workshop report.
The pressure-cooker workshop format allows for discussions and examination of practices, findings and lessons that participants bring with them. It aims to ensure discussions are timely and relevant for stakeholders, and includes working in small groups and debating in larger groups.
