This poster provides an overview of the work being undertaken within the ENTRUST H2020 project, which is exploring the societal dimensions of energy use. The project aims to provide a comprehensive mapping of Europe’s energy system (key actors and their intersections, technologies, markets, policies and innovations) and an in-depth understanding of how human behaviour around energy is shaped by both technological systems and socio-demographic factors (in particular gender, age and socio-economic status). The role of gender in this context is illuminated by intersectional analyses of energy-related behaviour and attitudes towards energy technologies, which will assess how multiple identities and social positions combine to shape practices. These analyses will be integrated within a transitions management framework which takes account of the complex meshing of human values and identities with technological systems. The importance of the energy citizenship concept is recognised and a key objective of ENTRUST is to enable individuals to overcome barriers and become active participants in their own energy transitions. This is achieved through collaboratively working with a number of very different communities across the continent to envision more sustainable energy futures.
