Dr. Vanja Djinlev is a transdisciplinary researcher working at the intersection of energy research and social science, with a focus on sustainability transitions and just decarbonization.
In his work, Vanja explores how collaborative, participatory, and co-created approaches can support more inclusive and effective transformations of energy systems. His research examines how social, technical, and institutional arrangements shape energy citizenship and collective action in heating and electricity systems.
Vanja's work is closely linked to sufficiency, as it highlights that sustainability transitions are not only about cleaner technologies, but also about rethinking needs, everyday practices, and collective choices to reduce energy and resource demand in fair and democratic ways.
