Wilfried Konrad, Dr. phil. (University of Frankfurt, Germany) works as senior researcher at DIALOGIK non-profit institute for communication and cooperation research (Stuttgart, Germany). He carries out research on energy-related issues such as smart grid, CCS, acceptance of energy technologies, or energy use at home. Previously, Konrad was a researcher and project leader at the Institute for Social Research (IfS) in Frankfurt (Germany) and at the Institute for Ecological Economy Research (IÖW) in Heidelberg (Germany).
Konrad’s interest in the history of nuclear energy and society originates from his research in the context of the German “Energiewende” which included the investigation of the social acceptance of nuclear power in comparison to other energy technologies.
