Jannika Mattes is a new ForWind member
At the February meeting of the ForWind Board of Directors, Prof. Dr. Jannika Mattes was accepted as a new member of ForWind. Mattes is Professor of Organization and Innovation at the Institute of Social Sciences at the Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg.
Jannika Mattes studied European Economics at the Universities of Bamberg and Granada and received her doctorate from the Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg in 2010. After working as a research assistant and postdoctoral researcher, she was a junior professor for the sociology of European societies. Research stays have taken her abroad, including to London and Sweden.
In her research, Mattes deals with innovation processes, organizational structures and transition processes, particularly in the field of renewable energies and wind energy. A particular focus is on the analysis of social dynamics in connection with the energy transition. Among other things, she examines how institutional framework conditions and social dynamics shape technological developments such as wind energy.
With Jannika Mattes, ForWind is expanding its social science expertise in the field of wind energy and energy research. This will further strengthen interdisciplinary cooperation between engineering, natural science and social science disciplines.
