The TIK centre is hosting the 15th International Sustainability Transitions conference at the University of Oslo from the 17th to 19th of June, 2024. You can now propose tracks and special sessions for the conference.
In our recent research in the oil and gas sector, we started observing the phenomena of ‘climate quitting’. For our research, we interviewed dozens of people, and got a sneak preview of our results published in ‘the Conversation’.
An important (and somewhat contentious) question in the energy transition is the role of large established actors, like oil and gas companies. We know these companies have a lot of resources, competencies, and influence that could contribute to a transition, but we also know they are companies that may benefit from the status quo. This means that how established organizations change and react to change, becomes an important question. We sat down with PhD candidate, Hannah Schupfer, to learn more about her research into these questions.
TIK and INTRANSIT have a fully funded three-year post doc position available: application deadline, 17th of November 2023.
INTRANSITers are organizing a track on 'twin transitions' at this year's Neon conference in Trondheim in November. The track will focus on how digitalisation and sustainability intertwine in industrial transformation.
INTRANSIT gathered in Lofoten to reflect on our research and discuss avenues for further work. Among fishing boats and shipbuilders in Svolvær, we discovered we have much to say about industrial transformation. And among June snow and mid-night sun, our fantastic group of people had a chance to connect.
INTRANSIT welcomes master students who are interested in studying green industry transformations in Norway. Our research focuses on ongoing transformation processes in sectors such as aquaculture and agriculture, process industry, and the maritime, transport and energy sectors.
We also study specific technologies (such as CCS, offshore wind, hydrogen solutions), firms, clusters and different innovation policy questions. See some suggested topics below.

The conference season is upon us and INTRANSIT researchers are presenting work at several events this summer. Here is an overview of INTRANSIT's conference contributions.
A challenge in transitions is how to efficiently link research with policymakers' current issues, problems, and questions. With that in mind, INTRANSIT, the Norwegian Research Council, and the Ministry of Education and Research hosted a seminar for informal discussions between researchers and bureaucrats from different ministries.
Centre director, Taran Thune, has contributed to a new report on how missions can be used for tackling grand societal challenges in Norway.
We have an open position as PhD fellow in INTRANSIT. The position is connected to research stream 5 on innovation policy and sustainability transitions, and the place of work is the Center for Technology, Innovation and Culture at the University of Oslo.
INTRANSIT offers students access to a vibrant research community, the opportunity to work with and be supervised by leading scholars and industry partners, access to data and partners.
