Ignė Stalmokaitė

Guest researcher

Academic interests

Ignė Stalmokaitė is a guest researcher at the Centre for Technology, Innovation and Culture (TIK). Her primary research interests concerns the dynamics of socio-technical system change in hard-to-decarbonize sectors such as the maritime transport. She is particulary interested in the role of actors and actor strategies in dealing with complex societal challenges. Ignė's previous work has also centred on social justice in the context of ocean governance. In particular, she studied how different dimensions of social justice are experienced by stakeholders in marine spatial planning process.

At TIK, Ignė's research is part of CaptureX project focusing on innovation systems for carbon capture and storage (CCS). In particular, she is studying actor strategies in CCS value chain formation. For example, how actor strategies at carbon capture sites influence innovation activities in storage and transport segments and vice versa.
