Annika Weiser

Dr. Annika Weiser is a Scientific Associate at the Institute for Technology Assessment and Systems Analysis (ITAS) at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, where she serves as Scientific Coordinator of the Research Group 'Designing Real-World Laboratory Research' since 2023. Her work focuses on transdisciplinary sustainability research and real-world laboratory methodologies, with particular emphasis on urban transformation processes and sustainable mobility systems.

Her research interests center on real-world laboratory research, transdisciplinary sustainability approaches, and innovative teaching methods. She investigates how experimental research settings can facilitate sustainability transformations, particularly examining the political impacts of real-world laboratories in urban contexts and the role of socio-technical experiments in mobility transitions. Her work bridges theoretical frameworks with practical applications through transdisciplinary collaboration between researchers and societal actors.

Dr. Weiser's recent publications reveal a strong focus on methodological innovation in sustainability research, particularly examining how real-world laboratories generate long-term impacts, how transdisciplinary research is shaped by contextual factors, and how digital innovations can support sustainability transformations. Her work spans multiple domains including urban planning, mobility systems, and sustainability education.

Her professional journey demonstrates deep commitment to sustainability research methodology, with expertise spanning real-world laboratory design, transdisciplinary research coordination, and sustainability education innovation.

Dr. Weiser actively contributes to multiple significant research projects including TRAMIGO (transformation paths for sustainable regional mobility), CulturalRoad (examining cultural factors for cooperative mobility), tdAcademy (transdisciplinary research training), SiNfo (integrative sustainability research), ADMoS-Future (autonomous driving in future mobility systems), and LinkLab (connecting real-world laboratory research with disciplinary approaches).
