energy transition

Conveying the complexity and multifaceted nature of the energy transition to a broad audience is a challenge. This article demonstrates how interactive serious games on a multitouch table can help make connections tangible and comprehensible. The games and the table were used in various conversational contexts. These are presented here in three case vignettes based on participant observation of the different applications, as well as situated and shared reflection. The vignettes demonstrate how interaction can trigger epistemic processes, enable shifts in perspective, and foster collective thinking, all of which are necessary for shaping the future of society as a whole.

Having derived from the end consumer market, the idea of a sharing economy is currently increasing important in more and more economic branches. Even conservative industries such as logistics are now beginning to see the potential of resource sharing. This paper discusses the scope and conditions of transferring this approach to the field of offshore wind energy logistics. It will be shown that standardizing objects and processes as well as making supply and demand transparent are considered the basis for transferring resource sharing into offshore wind energy logistics.
