In this new paper, we examine how regions transform their economic structures over time by analyzing complexity and relatedness metrics. We investigate these changes using sequence analysis techniques.

Together with Lennart Fischer, I have published a new paper on the socio-technical visions of a (future) bio-based construction sector. We examine these visions, focusing on how they are legitimized in Germany, Italy, India and China.

ERSA REGION has pioneered the publication of computational notebooks as a way to reproducible & portable research that can be reuse for research & teaching. In association with @rgsibg.bsky.social @rgsibg.bsky.social, we have revived & published the first digital version of CATMOG.

What is CATMOG?👇

Das BMBF-geförderte Projekt TRABBI erstellte mithilfe KI eine globale Übersicht von 5,6 Millionen Bioökonomie-Patenten. Forschende der Universität Gießen @jlugiessen.bsky.social entwickelten dafür ein Sprachmodell zur präzisen Identifikation biobasierter Technologien.

Pre-announcement of up to 4 postdocs on agrifood and land use transitions.

We will soon open for postdoc applications at UCPH for an upcoming project. Keywords: policies, technologies, scenarios for European agrifood and land use transitions. Short deadline, so feel free to reach out already now.

To all #PhD students and early career researchers working on topics related to economic geography: Please take a look at our call and apply now for the next #YEGN Workshop on #agency and regional #transformation in Greifswald (Germany), 25-28 August 2025. 👇

The construction sector is at a crossroads, searching for pathways to smarter material use — whether bricks, steel, concrete, or wood. While technical solutions and innovative concepts exist, their widespread adoption lags. Actors, institutions, and collective perceptions of crisis matter.

The paper is part of a special issue in TATuP containing many other interesting research papers and an informative editorial.

Led by Lennart Fischer, we published results from our research on socio-technical imaginaries of a bio-based construction sector. We provide some insights into how these imaginaries/visions differ within and between different geographical contexts. www.tatup.de/index.php/ta...

this is not the Norway I saw last week 🌧️

Spinning Stories: Wind Turbines & Narratives in Germany

Our new study dives into the interplay between #wind #turbines and #narratives in #Germany. Using #news data, we study how wind turbines are reflected in #local #narrative #landscapes (new concept!!!!).

Read our new paper, led by @lkriesch.bsky.social, (and check the dataset!) on bioeconomy-related patents published with @natureportfolio.bsky.social.
We hope that the data will be useful for fellow researchers to better understand the knowledge base of the #bioeconomy 🌳

I can't speak for every country ofc, but in many non-Western countries there are a couple of (local) firms working with bio-based materials. Bio-based does not mean CLT to be sure

See you tomorrow! Hope you'll have beer recommendations for the rest of us then
