Our ongoing work engages with all of INTRANSIT's focal sectors and explores a wide range of research questions, theoretical frameworks and empirical settings. This includes exploring the dynamics between sustainability and digitalization (RS4), studying how entrants and incumbents collaborate in sustainability transitions (RS3), identifying socio-technical drivers and barriers for decarbonization with CCS (RS2), assessing ongoing sustainability efforts in various sectors, including shipping, maritime transport and aquaculture (RS1 & RS2), and much more.
We employ and elaborate on several theoretical perspectives and frameworks, including innovation systems, transition studies, organizational studies.

The kick-off seminar in May 2019 offered the opportunity to present to stakeholders, user partners and guest exactly which questions INTRANSIT aims to answer over the next 8 years. Watch the main researchers explain their focus areas and interests in the video below.
"The main questions I am working on is how new firms emerge, how they collaborate and interact with existing industry actors, and how these interactions can help stimulate new industries."
- Birthe Soppe, DIG.
"The economy will transform, and we need to transform not just into a more digital technology, but also a more sustainable technology."
- Koen Frenken, University of Utrecht.
