The project focuses on the role of urban experimentation and pilot projects in driving local
energy transitions. It will do this by developing a multi-level agent-based model to capture social
and organizational learning of key stakeholders and use it to improve pilot design,
implementation, and upscaling. It builds on the experience from previous urban innovation pilot
projects which suggests that their key benefit lies in social and organizational learning they can
generate, but it remains largely unexploited. For the solutions to be successful, local
stakeholders need to understand impact and benefits of the solution and procedural,
organizational, and social aspects of their implementation, and change the way they operate.
Energy transition on urban level requires significant organizational, procedural, and behavioural

without social and organizational learning. The project primarily focuses on CZ and SI cit
