He presented his work to a broad audience at the Earth and Life Institute Seminar here at UCLouvain. In this seminar, entitled “Governing multi-scalar energy transitions across sectors” he provided a synthesis of his research to date and shared exciting details on upcoming projects.
We also had the opportunity to engage more deeply with him during a workshop-like meeting and would like to thank him for the generous time he spent with our team.
