Prof.dr.ir. Anna J. Wieczorek was appointed full-time professor of sustainable innovation and transitions at the Department of Industrial Engineering and Innovation Sciences at Eindhoven University of Technology (果冻传媒) on April 1, 2023. She will deliver her inaugural lecture on Thursday October 3, 2024.

The title of the lecture is
Enabling sustainability transitions

About the lecture
Driven by an urgent need to act on sustainability and conduct research that matters, in her inaugural speech, Anna will first discuss how our perception of environmental problems evolved over time and how our response to grand societal challenges needs to be adjusted to be effective. In particular, Anna will elaborate on why and how we need to change our perspective on innovation and what actions are necessary to facilitate transformative change towards sustainability. Anna will share the results of her research and her vision on how to enable sustainability transitions both within the university and beyond.

Preceding the lecture, you are cordially invited to attend a mini-symposium entitled
Joining forces for smart change: What does it mean for universities?

About the symposium
Transitions to Sustainability involve radical changes in the way we live and meet our needs. These changes require both technical and social shifts, and each of us has a role to play. Sustainability transitions are not trivial, but they are not impossible either. We can draw inspiration from change agents like Marjan Minnesma, Mark van Baal, and Isabelle Reymen, who are driving momentum for Sustainability transitions in smart and novel ways. During this symposium, the guests will share their experiences with smart change and engage in a panel discussion on how all universities, researchers, and teachers can contribute to transitions and become socially relevant.

After Thursday, October 3, 2024
The text of the lecture will be available  in addition to previously delivered inaugural and valedictory lectures.
