Agata Stasik

Kozminski University

Assistant Professor at Koźmiński University, Warsaw, Poland, a visiting researcher at the Research Institute for Sustainability Helmholtz Centre in Potsdam, a sociologist and science and technology researcher. She investigates social aspects of energy technologies and sustainable transition, ranging from shale gas development, renewable energy communities, to new energy technologies in coal transitioning regions. For that, she develops a perspective focusing on the processes of collective experimentation as a way of testing and diffusing socio-technological innovations for sustainable transitions. She has been leading and participating in numerous national and international research projects related to these topics involving close collaboration with with colleagues from different academic disciplines (from engineering to history) and practitioners from business and local administration via city labs and co-creation. She published the monograph on shale gas development in Poland and numerous articles in journals such as “Energy Research and Social Science”, “Environmental Innovation and Social Change”, and “Journal of Risk Research”.
