The 6th Swiss Social Sciences and Humanities Energy Research Workshop (SSH Energy 2026) will dive into energy communities and their role in the energy transition. The integration of administrators, practitioners, researchers and policymakers in shaping renewable energy futures is critical. Who are the communities of influence in the energy transition – who wins, who loses, and how does this manifest in the everyday communities of place? How do we situate SSH Energy communities of practice in shaping the energy transition? We look forward to welcoming all scholars and students within and beyond social sciences, humanities, arts, inter-and transdisciplinary research, modelers, practitioners and policymakers keen to engage in these discussions. Early career researchers are especially welcome to participate!
