Seminar on Green Transitions: Buiding Transformative Capacity in Public Sector Organizations

Tuesday, February 25, 2025 from 08:30-18:00, voluntary dinner from 18:00

Location: Augustinus Fonden Meeting Room (4th floor, access with elevator A), Solbjerg Plads 3

The seminar is entitled: 

Green Transitions: Building Transformative Capacity in Public Sector Organizations

How are public actors developing and using their organizational capacities to design and implement transformative public action towards green transitions? What combinations of resources, skills and specific roles are key for that? What capacity deficits can we identify in our public sector organizations? And what challenges and opportunities emerge? 

These are the key questions at the backbone of CAPACITOR, a research project funded by the Danish Research Council. 

The project is coming to an end, and we would like to invite you to join us at our final 1-day seminar at Copenhagen Business School.

Through a series of short and dynamic academic presentations, we will explore these questions in depth, not only presenting various research outcomes, but also engaging in open floor discussions.

Our event will also feature a panel discussion, offering insights on the project’s impact and future implications. 

We wish to collaboratively explore future pathways for studies about capacity and capacity building in public sector organizations in order to accelerate green transitions.

After the seminar we will offer a dinner, to continue the discussions on a more informal setting.  

Key speakers: Susana Borrás, Taran Mari Thune, Petra Wagner, Stine Haakonsson, René Taudal Poulsen, Trine Pallesen, Jacob Hasselbalch, Joana Geraldi,  Lena Neij among others.
