Researchers in UCC's Cleaner Production Promotion Unit are working on a new research project which aims to develop an in-depth understanding of civic mobilisation around energy, with a view to devising recommendations on how public policy and business models can better support inclusive citizen participation, thereby enhancing the social acceptability of the energy transition. The EnergyPOLITIES project is funded by the SEAI National Energy Research Development and Demonstration (RD&D) Funding Programme.
