About Me
Ever since my studies I've been interested in how governments and societal stakeholders take on grand societal challenges such as climate change. Energy transition, climate adaptation, circularity all presuppose a substantial change from the status quo. Within these transitions, institutions can make a difference. They can make a difference by guiding actor interactions, but more often, they form a barrier that prevents the so much needed change. In my work, I focus on institutions and how we can change them, step by step, so that they can work for the change, instead of against it.

Research
Driven by making our living environment resilient and sustainable. In my work I like to combine research with practice. I am intrigued by the energy transition and climate adaptation as societal, spatial and governance challenges. My research/professional interest lies in:
- energy transition integration
- climate adaptation
- urban resilience
- social innovation
- community energy
- policy innovation
- institutional innovation
- (polycentric) governance
- urban/rural interface
- cross-sectoral collaboration
- system integration
- energy transition integration
- climate adaptation
- urban resilience
- social innovation
- community energy
- policy innovation
- institutional innovation
- (polycentric) governance
- urban/rural interface
- cross-sectoral collaboration
- system integration
