What is the role of businesses in a sustainable transition? What can you do to embrace that role?

In this episode, we talk to Barbara Kump, an associate professor of Business & Sustainability at UT. The topic of conversation was insider activism: How can individuals change their organisations to a more sustainable one, from any position in the organisation they might hold. We also talk about what sparked her to pursue sustainability in her research, how that impacted her role, and about her upcoming book!

Today we are tackling the topic of biking... how to make it more safe and appealing in order to support sustainability? Our guests, Mario Boot and Annemarie Jutte, will explain how they are working on this with their project "Human-Bike Integration".
Mario works at UT and has a background in user experience research and design of wearable technology, and Annemarie works in Saxion and has a background in human media interaction and data science. UT and Saxion are collaborating together on smart connected bikes, with the vision of creating, one day, a car-free city.

In this episode, we are glad to present Florence Metz. She has a background in political science and public policy. Florence conducts her research in various policy domains and teaches about public policies for sustainability transitions here at UT. During this episode, she will explain how policies are implemented to understand why sometimes they may fail or be contradictory, but mostly how we can create an impact on this project. Later in the interview, she also explains her research on the Positive SDG interaction, explaining which SDG we should target to have optimal results.
