OpenEnergyMonitor, OpenStreetMap and Precious Plastic are just a few examples of vibrant peer communities that use online forums for exchanging ideas. Jointly developing and diffusing new sustainable technologies is at the core of these communities. While innovation studies have traditionally focused on firm activities as a main source of innovation, peer collaboration has become an important driver of social and technical change, potentially creating solutions for sustainable future transitions.

The virtual expert workshop will bring together innovation researchers for an exchange of ideas regarding the nature of peer innovation, with a focus on the methods of its empirical measurement. The approach developed by researchers at IÖW and TU Berlin in the PeerInnovation project which measures innovation activities in peer communities will be put up for discussion. Bringing together relevant scholars in this field, we hope to further our collective knowledge in measuring peer innovation for better and more sustainable future applications.
