Накратко на български

Процесите по вземане на решения при избора на минерали за технологии за възобновяема енергия се анализират чрез социални и технически представи. Това помага за по-устойчиво използване на природните ресурси при прехода към нови енергийни системи.

Resource-making in research and development: Governance and Power in designing research for sustainable mineral-material uses

This project explores decision-making processes on mineral-based materials in research and innovation for renewable energy technologies. It is guided by the question: How can decision-making processes in research activities be identified, and directed to enable more sustainable uses of mineral-based materials? The project works with literatures on Global Value Chains and Global Production Networks, Science and Technology-, and Innovation Studies, and uses sociotechnical imaginaries. These sociotechnical imaginaries may be gendered and carry information about how resources are perceived in decision-making processes, including on material uses for aspired innovations. This is important for work that aims towards more sustainable mineral-based material uses in energy system transformations. The overall objectives are to conceptualize research and development, and innovation in reference to global production to enable exploring decision-making processes with embedded sociotechnical imaginaries that reach across geographical scales and organizational levels. These insights seek to contribute to the advancement of governance and power dimensions in global value chain and global production networks, and to cast light on the importance of resource-making as a significant process in the transformation of nature for the reproduction of life. Project duration: 06/2022 – 05/2025

Цел на проекта

Natural to built environment, mineral resources to high-performance materials: Transformations of matter shape life. Socio-technical imaginaries direct these transformations: they inform and shape trajectories of research and innovation (R&I). Research on imaginaries to support socio-economic system transformations towards sustainable mineral uses is timely and important: The conversion of natural resources into commodities originates in imaginaries that need unpacking to address them with next generations in the context of enabling resource efficiency and sustainable raw material uses. This is the aim of this interdisciplinary project: Funded research projects with innovation goals will be examined by conceptualizing a Global Value Chain (GVC) of R&I drawing on GVC literature, the Science and Technology Studies (STS) concept of socio-technical imaginaries and the Innovation Studies (IS) concept of global pipelines. The specific objectives are (O1a) to conceptualize the GVC of R&I, (O1b) to map decision-making on research design, and (O1c) to explore imaginaries in decision-making on research design, to then demonstrate (O2a) how imaginaries operate, i.e. with which power in GVC governance, and with which outcome on (O2b) innovations and (O2c) mineral-based material uses.The research methodology uses a GVC framework and addresses state-of-the-art GVC research moving beyond static units of analysis by examining linkages among GVC participants, and exploring power in GVC governance.Empirically, decision-making in designing research will be traced in reverse chronological order: from project implementation to the original project idea. This will provide data on power in governance structures. With this knowledge, the EC Ecodesign Directive extension can be informed and the Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) indicator on governance can be adapted for future research design-related decision-making. These are central concerns in my research and career plan.
