Welcome
Changing Behaviour is a project that aims to support change in energy use and energy services. We do so by applying social research on technological change to practical use. Our focus is on the interaction between energy experts and energy users: How can these different groups learn to understand each other better?

Changing Behaviour is an action research project. Researchers and practitioners work together to develop, test and refine tools for improved interaction that are sensitive to context, timing and the needs of different users and stakeholders.

Changing Behaviour is a European project that is funded by the EU 7th Framework Programme Energy theme (contract number: 213217). The project partners are from Estonia, Finland, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands and the UK.
CleanTech developers need intermediaries
Monday, 15 September 2008 12:39
CHANGING BEHAVIOUR was presented at the Nordic Cleantech seminar organised by GreenNet Finland in connection with the annual Environmental Technology '08 Exhibition in Helsinki, September 12th. The presentation was given by Tiit Kallaste from SEI-Tallinn and Eva Heiskanen from the National Consumer Research Centre. In addition to examples of projects and intermediaries operating in Estonia and Finland, the presentation stressed the need for CleanTech developers to involve intermediaries in order to ensure that the new energy efficient technologies are actually adopted.

From theory to action? Researchers of science and technology meet CHANGING BEHAVIOUR
Tuesday, 02 September 2008 16:50
Changing Behaviour was recently presented to yet a new audience, this time of social scientists studying science and technology. Ynke Feenstra from ECN presented the Changing Behaviour project at the annual conference of the European Association for the study of Science and Technology (EASST) and the Society for Social Studies of Science (4S) in Rotterdam, August 20-23. This year, the conference theme was Acting with Science, Technology and Medicine, so the action research approach of Changing Behaviour awoke a lot of interest. The presentation slides are available here
