Transition Grenoble Metropole, ENSE3 Institute, France June 2018

Professor Krumdieck and Jeremy Pascal carried out a Transition Engineering project on the wicked problems of automobile congestion, air pollution, access to affordable housing with high energy standard, all in the context of meeting the COP21 requirement of 80% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2040. The Transition Engineering process and the five shift projects that resulted were presented to a workshop of people from research institutes and companies and the local government. Then a short workshop was held where different working groups framed up a proposal for some of the shift projects and presented their concepts to the local government officials. 

Introduction of the People and the Project (first 19 minutes in French)  What is the Project, What is Transition Engineering?

Results of the InTIME Project and 5 Shift Projects   How did we do it, what are the new ideas? 

Presentation of the Shift Projects developed in the Workshop    What are the Shift Project Ideas for the City?

 

Science for Energy Scenarios, Ecole de Physic, France March 2016

The third seminar was a week of discussion around the theme of Energy Return on Energy Invested (EROI) and how that informs both long-term scenarios and current policy and investment. Prof. Krumdieck was invited to give a presentation on how EROI is used in the Transition Engineering methodology. The presentation also has an example of a energy transition project being carried out with students in Grenoble.

Science for Energy Scenarios, Ecole de Physic, France Feb 2014

Prof. Krumdieck was invited to give a presentation on her group's work on future scenarios and Transition. The seminar was a week of presentations by a wide range of experts who gave scenarios about different things, climate, emissions, economy, material resources, electricity, vehicles, oil production... This presentation also give the wrap-up and conclusions from the week of scenarios.

Otago Energy Research Seminar 2013

Lunchtime seminar to a full house on the Transition Engineering Campaign

"business as usual" versus the "transitional" behavioral inertia of different sectors in response to perceived survival crisis: the roles of evidence and collective cultural vision in availability potential of future development options. In plain English – What are we going to do about oil supply decline and climate disruption risk, and who is ‘we’ exactly?
