Funding
Supported by the state of Lower Saxony with funds from the “zukunft.niedersachsen” program.
Aim
The research platform is investigating how the trust of end consumers in an increasingly decentralized, automated energy system that is increasingly controlled by digital processes can be maintained and strengthened. To this end, a trust model is developed that combines technical and sociological perspectives and is to be used as a theoretical basis for the development of trustworthy community energy systems. This trust model will be continuously reflected upon and improved through practical testing and implementation in a real laboratory.
In our part of the project, the analysis and modeling of individual and social aspects in (socio-)technical (agent) systems, we focus on the following questions:
How can individual and social aspects of trust be represented in technical systems? Under which boundary conditions can trust arise and be stable?
Which design principles for human-machine interfaces can be derived and implemented?

▪ Institute of Geoecology (IGÖ)
Funding
It was funded by the Interdisciplinary Collaboration 2022-23 program “ExzellenzStärken – Open up interdisciplinarity” at TU Braunschweig.
Aim
Our goal is to promote interdisciplinary research through an exchange of methods, which will enrich both disciplines in aspects of data collection, analysis and interpretation. This will substantially expand the possibilities of both disciplines to formally model their respective content areas and research questions and to arrive at new insights.

Aim
The development of new sustainable energy technologies and their widespread distribution are essential in order to achieve the necessary reduction in greenhouse gas emissions to reduce climate change.
The central purpose of the project is to enable energy system models, despite their primarily techno-economic focus, to better take into account results from quantitative and qualitative empirical analyses (e.g. conjoint analyses, qualitative interviews, etc.) on the behavior of actors (e.g. citizens, companies, etc.).
