- Name of the Project: Citizens Acting on Mitigation Pathways through Active Implementation of a Goal-setting Network (CAMPAIGNers)
Year: 2021-2024
Location: Turkey, Norway, Canada, Peru, South Africa, Azerbaijan and EU countries
Funded by: European Commission Horizon 2020
Main project features: CAMPAIGNers’ ground-breaking approach includes the implementation of a ‘goal-setting’ network, where citizens receive and create challenges to make specific changes to their lifestyles via an app platform. Their responses to these goals will deliver unprecedented data about their behavioral processes, to be used for informing policy and motivating citizens to reconsider their lifestyles. 16 cities from 5 continents with more than 15 million residents will actively promote participation in the network. Together with scientists and international NGO networks, cities will develop policies for supporting citizens’ short and long-term lifestyle transformations.

- Name of the Project: Inclusive DIALOGUES towards an operational concept of energy citizenship to support the Energy Union (DIALOGUES)
Year: 2020-2023
Location: Turkey, Norway, Canada, EU countries
Funded by: European Commission Horizon 2020
Main project features: DIALOGUES will support the Energy Union with operational research on energy citizenship that enables citizens to take a central role in the energy transition. To reach this objective the project will operationalise, contextualize, measure, and support the framework environments, policies and institutions that allow deep, inclusive energy citizenship to emerge.
Positions held: Work Package Leader and Steering Committee Member
- Name of the Project: Energy Efficiency through behaviour change transition strategies (ENCHANT)
Year: 2020-2023
Location: Turkey, Norway, EU countries
Funded by: European Commission Horizon 2020
Main project features: The time for reaching the necessary cuts in energy use and CO2 emissions is running out quickly and increasing energy efficiency in households substantially is a prerequisite for reaching these goals in time. Behaviour science has provided deep insights into mechanisms of behaviour change in this domain in a large number of small-scale pilots. ENCHANT evaluates the performance of intervention campaigns not only with respect to energy and CO2 saved, but also cost effectiveness, and effects on well-being of the participants (with a focus on gender specific effects), as well as effects for target groups in energy poverty.

- Name of the Project: Towards a FAIR and open data ecosystem in the low carbon energy research community (EERAdata)
Year: 2020-2023
Location: Turkey, Norway, EU countries
Funded by: European Commission Horizon 2020
Main project features: The majority of databases are unfit for deploying advanced analytical tools by humans and machines, causing forgone opportunities arising from advanced ICT solutions. It adds to the problem that the transition towards low carbon and sustainable energy systems requires the integration of interdisciplinary and complex data. The project builds a critical mass to explore the prospects of large-scale FAIR and open energy data.
Positions held: Work Package Leader and Steering Committee Member
- Name of the Project: establishing Community Renewable Energy Websplan (eCrew)
Year: 2020-2023
Location: Turkey, EU countries
Funded by: European Commission Horizon 2020
Main project features: eCREW coordinates and supports the roll-out of an innovative scheme of household cooperation in energy management. These are Community Renewable Energy Webs (CREWs), in which households jointly exploit household-level electricity generation and battery storage capacities and optimise energy efficiency and expenditures. The key purpose of CREWs is to support the transition of passive consumers to active participants in the local energy system through informed decisions and collective actions.

- Name of the Project: Opportunities and Challenges in the Arctic Region: Determining the Strategic Roadmap for Turkey
Year: 2019-2022
Location: Turkey
Funded by: The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK)
Main project features: Turkey began to engage in attempts with the start of the 21st century in order to have a say on the management and future of the region. In this context, for the first time, this project consisting of three stages, aims to prepare a road map for Turkey which will provide strategic decisions while positioning about the Arctic Region.
Positions held: Project Leader
- Name of the project: Energy Choices supporting the Energy Union and the Set-plan (ECHOES)
Year: 2016-2019
Location: EU Countries plus Turkey and Norway
Funded by: European Commission Horizon 2020
Main project features: ECHOES is a multi-disciplinary research project providing policy makers with comprehensive information, data, and policy-ready recommendations about the successful implementation of the Energy Union and SET plan. Individual and collective energy choices and social acceptance of energy transitions are analysed in a multi-disciplinary process including key stakeholders as co-constructors of the knowledge.
