Austria is at the forefront of Europe in terms of innovation in the use of renewable resources for energy supplies. In recent years Austria has also sought to use renewables resources as widely as possible in product manufacturing, though for the moment their adoption is still limited. This...

The future smart grid will make use of ICT to support the inclusion of new renewable energy sources and advanced energy services. In some cases, the Internet will be used as part of this critical infrastructure, e.g., to enable communication with end-user services. Consequently, developing...

The guide provides an original framework and methodological advice on how to identify, scope and assess the environmental pressures and impacts of research and innovation policy. The central assumption in the overall framework is that any integrated assessment seeking to identify and measure...

This report presents the results of a study on S&T&I for 2050: science, technology and innovation for ecosystem performance - accelerating sustainability transitions. The aim was to identify, map and assess future scientific and technological developments that can radically improve or threaten...

When dealing with the transition towards a decarbonized energy system, Smart Grid(s) represent one of the key terms to describe future local electricity grids. To get a picture of the discourse field around Smart Grids, online social media platforms such as Twitter and LinkedIn provide abundant...

In this paper we review major theoretical (neoclassical economics, evolutionary, systemic and knowledge-based) insights about innovation and we analyse their implications for the characteristics of contemporary innovation policy and instruments. We show that the perspectives complement each...

The development and diffusion of offshore wind energy technology is important for European energy policy. However, the large potential does not automatically lead to a large share in future energy systems; neither does an emergent stage of technological development automatically lead to success...
