CV
Dr. Tews joined the TUM’s Bavarian School of Public Policy from September 2017 - September 2020. She conducted research in the framework of the BMBF-funded KOPERNIKUS-Project “ENavi”. In the TUM’s part of the interdisciplinary project she investigated the process of the German energy transition through the lens of the multi-level governance challenge. A very specific focus was on the analysis of drivers and barriers as well as of the changing political framework conditions of the (financial) citizen’s engagement in the German energy transition process.
Dr. Tews is an expert in comparative policy analysis - in particular in policy transfer and policy diffusion analysis - in policy evaluation as well as in research on Governance and Europeanization of energy and climate policies.
