Julius Paul Wesche
Om
Julius Wesche er forsker i energigruppen ved Institutt for tverrfaglige kulturstudier (KULT). Han er også tilknyttet NTNU Energy Transition Initiative. Han tok en doktorgrad fra Universitetet i Utrecht i 2021. Tittelen på avhandlingen var: "Configurational Innovation Systems - Transition Dynamics and Actor Strategies in the German Heat Sector".
I sin forskning fokuserer han på aktører og aktørstrategier i den norske og tyske energiomstillingen. Julius er vertskap for tre podcaster: NTNU Energy Transition Podcast, Science Communication Accelerator Podcast og enPower Energiewende Podcast (kun på tysk).
Han studerte økonomi, bærekraftig utvikling og energipolitikk i Hamburg, Kassel i Tyskland og Madison (USA). Mellom 2014 og 2021 var han assosiert forsker i Competence Center Energy Policy and Energy Markets ved Fraunhofer ISI (Karlsruhe, Tyskland). Siden 2015 var han doktorgradsstudent ved Copernicus Institute of Sustainable Development ved Utrecht University (NL).
I 2021 grunnla han Science Communication Accelerator for å skape et kunnskapsknutepunkt for digital vitenskapskommunikasjon. Han konsulterer også universiteter og andre kunnskapsorganisasjoner om hvordan man bruker sosiale medier for å formidle vitenskap og andre intrikate emner – ved å utvikle deres digitale vitenskapskommunikasjon, merkevarebygging og oppsøkende strategier.

Forskning
Julius Wesche er en forsker med over ti års erfaring i å fremme lavkarbonteknologier og støtte energiomstillingen. Med roller ved Fraunhofer og NTNU har han fokusert på å analysere politiske systemer for å fremme bærekraftige teknologier som Direct Air Capture, CCS, solenergi og offshore vind. Hans forskning utforsker hvordan visjoner, interessentoppfatninger og sosial aksept påvirker samarbeid og politiske resultater, med publiserte studier om emner som spenner fra energitransformasjoner på lokalt nivå til faktorer som driver interessen for elbiler.
Ved siden av forskningen er Julius medvert for enPower Podcast og vert for NTNU Energy Transition Podcast, som når over 6,000 lyttere annenhver uke. Gjennom disse plattformene kobler han seg til bransjeeksperter for å diskutere energiomstillingens utfordringer og strategier, med mål om å gjøre komplekse temaer mer tilgjengelige og øke bevisstheten rundt bærekraft. Julius’ kombinerte innsats innen forskning og kommunikasjon bidrar til et mer informert og engasjert samfunn som støtter en lavkarbonfremtid.
For tiden veileder Julius to doktorgradsstudenter:
- Kine Høve Johnsen: "Public policy co-production, visions & strategies – Understanding the New Hydrogen Hype in Norway and the EU"
- Martina Fantini: "Sustainable Aviation Futures in Norway: Visions and Trajectories"
Ta gjerne kontakt dersom du ønsker samarbeid innen:
- Innovasjonssystemer
- Sosio-teknisk aksept
- Organisatorisk verdikjedeanalyse
- Sosio-tekniske forestillinger
- Visjons- og veikartworkshops
Empiriske temaer jeg er interessert i:
- Karbonfangst og -lagring (CCS)
- Direct Air Carbon Capture (DACCS)
- Bioenergi-karbonfangst og -lagring (BECCS)
- Solcellepaneler (PV)
- Land- og offshore vindkraft
