Tim had a busy time at last week’s Summer Study held by the European Council for and Energy Efficient Economy. He ran workshops during the week. The first on the EPSRC funded MOT (Motoring and vehicle Ownership Trends in the UK) Project and dealt with “Linking energy use from private transport and domestic use: The challenges and opportunities of ‘Big Data’”. The second workshop, run with Charlie Wilson from UEA, was on his current ESRC Follow On Fund (Characterising Energy Behaviours – or “When is a behaviour not (just) a behaviour?”).
Tim also presented a paper on his ‘4 Dimensions of Behaviour’ framework from his Follow-On Fund project, which was described by ECEEE old-timer and esteemed energy anthropologist from Oslo University as “representing the future of social science engagement around energy”.
