I am Nuno Bento, an Integrated Researcher at the DINÂMIA'CET research center at University Institute of Lisbon - Iscte. Throughout my career, I have (co-)authored over three dozen scientific papers published in international peer-reviewed journals, including in multidisciplinary journals such as Science and Nature Energy. My research focuses on various areas, including technology innovation (systems), diffusion, sustainability transitions, energy and climate change. Currently, I am delving into topics such as accelerated decarbonization, the socioeconomic impacts of diverse transition pathways, low-energy demand strategies with improved wellbeing, and sustainable transition in business. Over the years, I have secured international research funding, including support from EU Horizon 2020 and METI-Japan, as well as national funding from organizations like the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) and the National Agency for Innovation (ANI). My work has earned recognition, including recent honorable mentions in the 2024 Financial Times¿ Award on Academic Research with Societal Impact and the 2023 Finisterra journal¿s Award. In parallel, I have provided consulting expertise to national governments as well as international organizations such as the European Commission, International Energy Agency, and IPCC. I hold a Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Grenoble (France). My academic background includes postdoctoral researches at Harvard University (USA) and the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis - IIASA (Austria). I have also contributed to education through teaching positions and mentoring in various countries.
