Description of the granted funding
CETSI (Citizens' behavior change towards sustainable energy transition through social interactions) promotes fair and effective energy transition by empowering citizens as active participants in the energy system. CETSI explores how motivation, social interaction, and digital tools can advance sustainable energy behaviors and trust in the energy market. By combining expertise from energy systems, communication, and digital design, CETSI develops transparent pricing models, inclusive digital applications, and communicative practices that support citizens' energy literacy and resilience. Through interdisciplinary research and stakeholder involvement, CETSI creates scientific results and practical solutions that address the needs of diverse citizens, enabling them to make informed, sustainable energy choices and contribute to systemic change. The project enhances societies' ability to meet climate targets through citizen-centered, socially sustainable innovations in the energy sector.
