As part of her three-year Associate Junior Fellowship at the Hanse Wissenschaftskolleg (HWK), Ricarda Schmidt-Scheele gave a Fellow Lecture on site. The topic of the lecture was the complex interactions between digitalisation processes and sustainable energy transitions. Ricarda Schmidt-Scheele took the opportunity to present the current status of her research and discuss it with other Fellows and alumni of the Centre. Previous research approaches have mostly focussed on the various effects of digital technologies on the transition process. The core of Ricarda Schmidt-Scheele's research is to better understand the inverse relationship: How are current transition dynamics in the energy sector inscribed in the design and functionality of new, digital technologies. She also presented the initial results of an ongoing case study on AI-based anti-collision systems to protect birds of prey at wind turbines.
