Founding Deep Transitions
Our founder, Johan Schot, is professor of sustainability transitions at Utrecht University and a leading academic in the field of transitions studies. He is an engaged scholar who, throughout his career, has connected his research to finding solutions for the pressing challenges of our times. Schot developed an extensive programme of experimentation in which he collaborated with investors, policy-makers and governments across the world to move beyond system optimisation and achieve fundamental, lasting system change. This led to the Deep Transitions Programme, focusing on the private sector and the Transformative Innovation Policy Consortium (TIPC), focusing on the public sector.
