Dr. Vincent de Gooyert is Associate Professor at Radboud University. His research and teaching revolve around increasing understanding of, as well as intervening in, societal transformations towards sustainability. Vincent is trained both as an engineer and as a sociologist, and his work often aims to transcend disciplines, using and contributing to methods on stakeholder engagement, system dynamics, and socio-technical transitions.

Vincent was a visiting scholar at the MIT Sloan School of Management and Schulich School of Business, York University. His work is published in journals such as Climate Policy, Sustainability Science, Environmental Research Letters, Renewable & Sustainable Energy Reviews, Technological Forecasting & Social Change, Energy Research & Social Science, System Dynamics Review, and Nature Reviews Earth & Environment.

SPINES: Cross-sectoral strategies for shaping infrastructure demand SPINES supports infrastructure managers in developing cross-sectoral strategies to proactively shape infrastructure demand, as an alternative to the traditional, untenable 'predict-and-provide' paradigm. Societal challenges such as climate change, the energy transition, and resource scarcity call for a new approach to infrastructure management and governance. By combining insights from engineering, planning, innovation, and transition studies, we explore the dynamics between infrastructure management, policymaking, and end-user behavior. The knowledge we generate helps infrastructure managers promote fairer and more efficient use and management of infrastructure capacity. More information
EXPLORE: EXPerimentaL gOvernance for the Regional Energy transition. The energy transition towards renewable energy changes our landscapes, but will also affect the social organisation of the energy system. Who will benefit and how can we organise the participation of citizens? This project gives insight in successful participation projects and provides governments with tools to test new governance models.
Sustainable plastics. To mitigate climate change, the chemical industry considers large investments in bio-based plastics and plastics recycling via gasification and pyrolysis. However, more knowledge is required about the relative potential of these two deep emission reduction options. So far, studies mainly looked at their technological potential, but did not sufficiently address social aspects, while the behaviour of stakeholders across value chains is crucial. In this project, we directly collaborate with Chemelot, an industrial cluster in Limburg and co-funder of the proposal, to fill this research gap. We combine environmental life cycle assessment, participative system dynamics modelling, and ex-ante policy evaluation to assess the relevant socio-technical systems around circular plastics and bioplastics.
PRONTO: oPen stRategizing fOr iNfrasTructures in transitOn. To be able to shape socio- technical transitions, infrastructure agencies need to develop coordinated cross-sectoral infrastructure strategies. This requires infrastructure agencies to open-up their processes of strategizing. PRONTO investigates what practices of open strategizing are enacted by infrastructure agencies and develops governance and modelling approaches in support of these practices. More information
CaLby2030: Decarbonizing Industrial Processes with Calcium Looping . CaLby2030 is a European project granted under Horizon Europe framework programme. The main goal is to act as enabling tool to achieve, by 2030, commercial deployment of Calcium Looping technology (CaL) using Circulating Fluidised Bed reactors. Three pilot plants will be used in Germany, Sweden and Spain to demonstrate >99% CO2 capture rates in three hard to abate industrial sectors: cement, steel and waste to energy. More information
