Annemarie's main challenge is to connect science to practice and find ways for how to “do” sustainable development. A leading question is “How can science help to deal with sustainability problems that are inherently unstructured problems with no clear solution?
INSURE (2004-2007): The INSURE project is an EU-funded project aimed at devising a flexible framework for indicators for sustainability in regions using system dynamics modelling.
Governance for Sustainable Development: The Case of Limburg, The Netherlands (2007-2011): The project aims at investigating how sustainable development can be attained at the regional level. The Province of Limburg will serve as a case study. Stakeholders will play an important role throughout the project. They will be consulted on improving the workability of the concept of sustainable development, on the identification of driving forces, on the possible ways of implementing sustainable development and on their wishes for monitoring and evaluation. The project is financially supported by the Province of Limburg.
INSPIRATOR (2011-2014): This NWO funded research project examines experiences with knowledge co-production and the use of coproduced knowledge by decision-makers. A typology of knowledge co-production in the science-policy interface will be developed, based on existing classifications, as well as normative criteria to assess the effectiveness of co-production.
Samen Duurzaam (2015-2016): creating self-organising capacity via co-creation in 2 neighbourhoods in Limburg for making the neighbourhoods more sustainable
ACE Retrofitting (2016-2020): The project targets private house owners, one of the most elusive groups of citizens for retrofitting. The international ACE Retrofitting project focuses on retrofitting of condominium buildings to help combating climate change in North West Europe (NWE).
Maastricht University will provide scientific input to the project in the fields of co-creation processes for sustainable development, innovative financing options for retrofitting and the value of green buildings, and psychological insights in behavioural change.
ENLEB (EnergieNeutraal en LEvensloop bestendig Bouwen) (2016-2020): is a project in which Flemish and Dutch partners work together to encourage citizens to make their homes energy neutral and adaptable to meeting changing needs through all life phases. The aim of the project is the development of an integrated concept for making residential private homes more sustainable on the basis of co-creation, with the focus on self-sufficiency, so that homes remain energy-neutral even if the residents’ energy profile changes.
