Reducing energy demand through low carbon innovation: A sociotechnical transitions perspective and thirteen research debates (2018, background): “These processes of stabilisation, growing acceptance and support and community building tend to occur over sequences of concrete demonstration projects, experiences and trials (see [50], for one conceptualisation of these processes).”
The distribution of roles and functions for upscaling and outscaling innovations in agricultural innovation systems (2013, background): “Successful projects will generate new enthusiasm and attract new people and resources to be involved in new projects (Geels and Raven, 2006).”
Local niche experimentation in energy transitions: a theoretical and empirical exploration of proximity advantages and disadvantages (2010, background): “Later research showed that articulating expectations is still important, but that the effect of experimentation on changing them is limited compared to the effects of dynamics in the wider environment of prevailing regimes and the socio-technical landscape (Raven, 2005; Geels and Raven, 2006).”
Exploring the Transition Potential of Renewable Energy Communities (2015, methodology): “Geels and Raven (2006) conceptualize niches as proto-regimes that have a structure similar to the regime, although they consider only the developing network among similar local niches that share the knowledge and practices with each other thereby forming a global niche (with ‘global’ in this…”
Modelling the dynamics of technological innovation systems (2016, background): “Sixth, the model is able to capture non-linear dynamics and uncertainties associated with emerging niches or technological innovation systems (Geels and Raven, 2006; Meijer and Hekkert, 2007).”
Comparing technological hype cycles: Towards a theory (2013, background): “Second, it is likely that the shape of hype patterns is influenced by the characteristics of a technology and its environment, such as the newness of a technology [4], the specificity of functional application of a technology [1], the funding or actor structure in a field [4, 7], the existence of pr”
Sustainability Transitions Research: Transforming Science and Practice for Societal Change (2017, background): “On the basis of several empirical case studies, different transition pathways have been conceptualized (40), as have the evolution of niches and how they can be understood (44, 45).”
Sustainability experiments in Asia: innovations shaping alternative development pathways? (2010, background): “Recent literature on niches and niche development stresses the importance of making a distinction between local experiments and projects, and a more global niche level (Geels and Raven, 2006).”
Of solar collectors, wind power, and car sharing: Comparing and understanding successful cases of grassroots innovations (2013, background): “Moreover, it is of great interest, how local niche experiments eventually contribute to the formation of global niches (Geels and Raven, 2006) and how they transform or are adopted and adapted by dominant regimes structures (Smith, 2007).”
Functions in innovation systems: A framework for analysing energy system dynamics and identifying goals for system-building activities by entrepreneurs and policy makers (2008, background): “They also influence expectations of the future, i.e. perceptions of what is possible and desirable, that guide specific investment decisions (Carlson and Jacobsson, 1993; Geels and Raven, 2006).”
Socio-cognitive evolution in niche development: Comparative analysis of biogas development in Denmark and the Netherlands (1973–2004) (2010, background): “Geels and Raven (2006) called this global level a ‘technological niche’.”
