Research

Zdenka is pursuing an interdisciplinary research with the aim to assess the energy technology innovation capacity building in Latin America. To accomplish that, she will assess what metrics are necessary and what data are available on clean energy technology innovation in Brazil, Chile, Mexico, and Peru, which factors are most important in motivating the enhancement of clean energy technology innovation in these countries, and how Latin American countries can strengthen their energy innovation systems using appropriate policies. She will also aim to collect the missing data that would allow for measuring and understanding of the energy innovation capacity building in these countries. This project is a part of her doctoral dissertation research.
