Since July 2016 Eva Öller has received a PhD scholarship within the framework of the Think Lab ‘Energy- Society-Change’ from the Foundation of German Business (Stiftung der Deutschen Wirtschaft, sdw). Her dissertation investigates cross-border cooperation in renewable energy and climate governance at the subnational level and is supervised by Prof. Miranda Schreurs (Technical University of Munich).

In the dissertation Mrs. Frisch analyzes cross-border cooperation in climate governance between Germany and its neighboring countries on state, municipal and project level. By investigating the knowledge and learning processes between the cooperation partners it is described how these learning processes shape local climate governance and which lessons we can draw from these cross-border cooperation projects for a future European regional governance framework
