Jannika Mattes presented her current work with Ricarda Schmidt-Scheele under the title: "Interdependence between energy transitions and digital technologies: Socio-technical-ecological configurations of intelligent bird detection technologies". In their paper, the two analyse how current transition dynamics in the energy sector are inscribed in the design and functionality of new digital technologies. Tamara Schnell presented the second paper of her dissertation entitled: "Legitimacy of Transitions - Transitions of Legitimacy: Uncovering (de)institutionalisation dynamics in sustainability transitions". In the paper, she develops a framework for analysing legitimisation dynamics in transitions. In her presentation, Marie Oltmer discussed the question of what role different actor constellations play in the policy process for insect conservation. She presented the joint paper by her and Camilla Chlebna entitled: "Putting insects on the agenda: An analysis of actors in multiple streams towards a policy mix for insect conservation in Germany". Also present was our external doctoral candidate, Sven Alsheimer, who presented his paper on "Divergent or convergent? Acceptance of CCUS at regional and national levels". We also met our former colleagues Camilla Chlebna and Meike Löhr at the conference and were able to discuss their current work.

The IST was organised by the University of Oslo in co-operation with several partners (SINTEF, NTNU, the research centres INTRANSIT and NTRANS, and the Western Norway University of Applied Sciences).
