Why study Technology? IIASA s research mission: human dimension of global change Main driver: people and their tools (technology) - embodied knowledge (hardware, artefacts) - disembodied knowledge -- software, know-how, know-why -- orgware (institutions, rules, norms) Policy interest: man-made resource , but.. -- Change costly (investments!) -- High uncertainty (innovation and diffusion) -- Large inertia for major transformations (lock-in, path dependency) -- Slow rates of change (systems/infrastructures)

TNT - Transitions to New Technologies TNT niche: - Systems view (innovation systems, techn. complexity) - Novel modeling approaches (agent-based) - Long view (1700 2100) - Metastudies Focus 2010-2015: - ETIS (Energy Technology Innovation System) - Energy & carbon transitions - Climate innovation portfolio biases - International Assessments (IPCC AR5, GEA) Focus 2015-2020: - Nexus (Energy-Land-Water-Air) Technologies - Comparing technological & behavioral change dynamics - Technology & Innovation for SDGs (The World in 2050)
Efficiency of Resource Use (Production AND Consumption): percent of primary input remaining at step of conversion/use chain Example Energy (per service, exergy efficiency) and Water (irrigated agriculture & food, water usage efficiency) Water Crop Food Nutrition
