Reflections on & Lessons from: My Research JourneyAnandan Pillai
This document reflects on the author's research journey, including changing topics and facing methodological challenges. It describes how the author initially planned to study corporate rebranding but realized the phenomenon did not match his interests. He then chose to study content generation for customer engagement on social media, focusing on brand communities. However, data collection from brand managers was difficult until a Facebook feature change helped. Key lessons included choosing topics you are interested in for the long run, educating others about new topics, and prioritizing quality over quantity in publications.

The company wants to make healthier meal replacements that can be tailored to individuals' dietary needs and preferences. Ample believes consumers are lacking options that better accommodate different nutritional requirements.
Slides from my lecture in a Marketing Management course at Linköping University (2nd year students). The course-book was Kotler's Principles of Marketing so I covered the concepts defined in the chapter. Basic facts on qualitative and quantitative research methods were presented: interviews, surveys, ethnography and netnography, case studies, focus groups, and experiments. I also discussed how the Internet and social media have improved the quantity and quality of data available on customer behavior.

This document discusses a social electricity application called Social Electricity that allows users to compare their electricity usage to others in their social network and neighborhood. The application aims to increase energy awareness through social comparisons. It utilizes real electricity data from Cyprus to enable users to compare their usage at the personal, social, and location level. Initial findings show interest from users in learning about their usage compared to friends and locally. Future goals include making more detailed comparisons and expanding the platform to provide real-time usage insights.
Principal Investigator Catherine Mulligan and co-investigators John Nelson and Ruth Rettie are leading a project funded by the RCUK Sustainable Society Network+ to identify grand challenges for digital technology research related to creating a sustainable society. The network will provide funding for 10 pilot studies up to £50,000 each, research probes, secondments between industry and academia. Two pilot studies are described, one involving analyzing social media during flood events for flood risk management, and another deploying digital sharing tools across 800 households to inspire sustainable practices. A challenge fellowship will explore using interactive feedback to change energy consumption behaviors. The network also supports secondments in India.

Artificial Intelligence And Water Cycle ManagementJennifer Daniel
This document discusses how artificial intelligence can help manage water resources more effectively by processing large amounts of data. AI applications have potential in areas like monitoring water quality and quantity, detecting illegal dumping or changes in water bodies, and improving the efficiency of water treatment plants. By using sensors and data from smart homes, AI systems can also help optimize water distribution networks and consumption patterns. Overall, AI can support more sustainable water management through integrated analysis of environmental information across different sectors.
The document discusses how information and communication technologies (ICT) can help save energy through three main ways: 1) Enabling more energy efficient industrial processes through technologies like weather information for route planning. 2) Developing more energy efficient ICT devices themselves. 3) Raising awareness of energy usage through ambient intelligence and smart metering technologies which can provide feedback and flexibility in energy prices. The document estimates that 20-30% of energy savings are possible in households and offices through these approaches. It advocates for living lab methodologies to test new ICT and feedback systems in real-life contexts to better understand how to influence energy usage behaviors.
This document announces a two-day workshop on developing capacity in multimodal research, community engagement, and energy demand reduction. The workshop aims to promote methodological innovation using multimodal data, enhance research-user engagement, and increase multimodal research capabilities among projects related to sustainable communities and energy demand reduction. Activities will include talks, panels, discussions, and workshops to creatively and analytically work with multimodal data and discuss multimodality and public engagement. The workshop intends to boost participants' research insights and transfer gains to other communities, with plans to develop an interactive mobile exhibition showcasing work across projects.
Living Networks and Urban Labs are addressing major challenges facing cities through social innovation and citizen participation. Some key challenges mentioned include climate change, energy sustainability, and sustainable water and food supplies. Sustainable solutions require diverse knowledge and collaboration between public and private spheres. Living Labs create open ecosystems to engage stakeholders, stimulate collaboration and enable behavior transformation. ENoLL currently supports 236 European Living Labs and 38 outside of Europe, working to expand globally. Thematic subnetworks focus on issues like smart cities, health, and sustainability. ENoLL is developing a Public-Private Partnership initiative to support research, education, large-scale pilots and international collaboration to address challenges through user-driven open innovation.

The Landscape of Citizen Observatories across the EU - ESA Phi-week 2018Margaret Gold
Citizens' Observatories are defined as community-based environmental monitoring and information systems. They build on innovative and novel Earth Observation applications embedded in portable or mobile personal devices. This means that citizens can help and be engaged in observing our environment (EASME, 2016). Amongst the benefits of Citizen Observatories are that citizens’ observations, data and information can be used to complement authoritative, traditional in-situ and remote sensing Earth Observation data sources in a number of areas such as climate change, sustainable development, air monitoring, flood and drought monitoring, land cover or land-use change (GEO, 2017); they provide new data sources for policy-making (Schade et al., 2017) and; they can result in increased citizen participation in environmental management and governance at a large scale, for example public participation in the implementation of the European Flood Directive (Wehn et al., 2015). As a result, in the EU, efforts have been channeled into developing the concept of Citizen Observatories, and there are several currently in operation (e.g. Ground Truth 2.0, GROW, LandSense, Scent) that are intended to complement the EU’s Earth Observation monitoring framework, vastly increasing available in-situ or ground-based information. With the increasing prevalence of Citizen Observatories globally, there have been calls for a more integrated approach to handling their complexities with a view to providing a stable, reliable and scalable Citizens’ Observatory programme (Liu et al., 2014). Answering this challenge, in the European context, the Horizon 2020-funded project, WeObserve aims to improve coordination between existing Citizen Observatories and related European activities, while tackling three key challenges that inhibit the mainstreaming of citizen science: awareness, acceptability, and sustainability. Systematically tackling these challenges first requires the aggregating, building and strengthening of the Citizen Observatory knowledge base. In this talk, I will present the outcomes of the first initiative to strengthen the Citizen Observatory knowledge base within the WeObserve project - a map of the EU landscape of existing Citizen Observatory networks and their associated networks, key stakeholders and insights into the development, operation and challenges facing Citizen Observatories in Europe.

This document discusses engaging local experts and farmers in climate change action and climate smart agriculture. It proposes a framework where scientists provide knowledge to experts, experts give practical feedback to farmers, and farmers test practices and provide feedback. Local experts would help implement best practices, monitor activities, and act as knowledge brokers between farmers and outside experts. The goal is to engage stakeholders to develop context-specific solutions, test and implement them, and share results to scale up effective practices.
Millennials are changing public spaces through their use of technology and focus on sustainability and the environment. Current trends show rooftop gardens providing environmental benefits, nightclubs generating electricity from dance floors, pop-up stores benefiting neighborhoods, and no-tech spaces allowing relaxation. The document suggests opportunities for hotels like Marriott to incorporate sustainability features like indoor gardens and self-generating electricity systems to attract millennials by giving them incentives to socialize and feel they are helping the environment.

Here are a few potential responses to your questions:
1. Using homemade electronics as substitutes for commercial products does run the risk of being more of an art project than a reliable, everyday solution. Homemade versions are unlikely to meet the same standards for safety, durability, performance, etc. that commercial products are designed and tested to achieve.
2. However, for some applications where reliability is less critical, a homemade solution could be satisfactory on a temporary basis or for learning/experimentation purposes. It really depends on the intended use case.
3. Consumers are susceptible to producers' marketing strategies because brands/companies work hard to cultivate trust in their products and positioning. Things like styling, packaging,

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

19. Peaks in energy use during the day: matching appliance energy use
to intersections between energy use and home activities elicited
through ethnography
22. Design concepts
Kairos: allows to
set delayed times &
intelligent profiles
for appliances and
heating system
Anima: Visualise
the heartbeat of
the home, in terms
of health and
fitness
Hinterland: making
the invisible visible.
AR app that
visualises energy
consumed as loud
plumes emanating
from devices
24. Objectives
Understand how automated technologies are
incorporated into households and household practices,
and how they associate to changes in practices
Examine intersections between use of automated
technologies and energy consumption
Analyse matches and mismatches between
expectations of policy makers, energy providers and
manufacturers and the lived experiences of
householders
25. Methods
Content analysis of international media
coverage of smart home and automated
technologies
Interviews with Australian industry
professionals selling or installing smart home
products and services
Ethnographic research with Australian
householders living in smart homes
26. Smart home as
“a residence equipped with computing and
information technology which anticipates and
responds to the needs of the occupants, working to
promote their comfort, convenience, security and
entertainment through the management of
technology within the home and connection to the
world beyond .”
–F K Aldrich, Smart homes: past, present and futures
27. Ethnographic research
30 homes targeted (10 in
progress)
Site visits, household
questionnaire, interview,
home tour
Follow up by email, phone
or visit
28. Preliminary findings
Smart homes are a gendered project
Smart homes are fields of possibility,
integrated in but also transformative
for everyday practices
Smart homes demand their own energy
29. Conclusion
Mapping and shaping energy futures requires deep knowledge of how
people’s energy uses are enmeshed in everyday household practices
Qualitative research is fundamental to attempts to reduce energy
consumption and demand & move towards future (more)
environmentally sustainable forms of energy consumption
(Sensory) Ethnography
examining energy consumption practices the way they are
enmeshed in everyday activities and experiences
mapping development and evolution of new practices integrating
digital technologies
informing design of technologies and interventions for
encouraging sustainable forms of energy consumption
Enables understanding of relationships between everyday lived experience
(present) and what is technologically possible (future)
