Innovation and Sustainability – friends or foes? (Video)
Lea Fünfschilling, Dr., Lund University, Assoc. Senior Lecturer, Centre for Innovation Research (CIRCLE)
Lea Fünfschilling is an associate senior lecturer at the Centre for innovation Research (CIRCLE, Department of Design Sciences) at Lund University. She holds a PhD in Sociology from the University of Basel in Switzerland. Her current research interests are centered around understanding the dynamics of sustainability transitions in various industries (e.g. water, chemicals, transport or forestry). Special attention is thereby devoted to the role of transformative innovation policies and the development of an analytical framework that conceptualizes transitions as (de-)Institutionalization processes of socio-technical systems. She is coordinator of the Swedish Transformative Innovation Policy Platform (STIPP) and an active board member of the Sustainability Transition Research Network. She has recently been awarded an ERC Starting Grant for her project ‘ENDINGS – Towards a theory of endings in innovation studies’ which will start in January 2023.
