time of easily exploitable resources is over
17 critical earth metals become scarcescandium, neodymium, dysprosium, gadolinium, lanthanum
windmills, electric cars, solar panels, smartphones
expected growth of these metals is > 1000%
China owns 97%

Transition to a New Economy
![Page 27: A change of Eras: what does it mean to science?](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062703/5555a0a7b4c905a5178b5324/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
global economy around ‘clean tech industry’
fastest growing industry in the world
2012: 300 billion dollar (30% growth t.o.v. 2011)
China 60 billion Germany 45 billionAmerica 40 billionItaly 17 billionNetherlands 5 billion
New Economy is ‘booming’
![Page 28: A change of Eras: what does it mean to science?](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062703/5555a0a7b4c905a5178b5324/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Green Economy = ca. 4% of Total Economy (GDP)
Clean Tech = ca. 2% of Total Economy (GDP)
by now 2-4% of total economy
in 2025 11 - 21% at 15% growth per year
in 2030 22 - 43% at 15% growth per year
New Economy in the Netherlands

University in Transition
![Page 45: A change of Eras: what does it mean to science?](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062703/5555a0a7b4c905a5178b5324/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Transition fundamental change of structure, culture and practices in societal (sub)system
– structure: physical infrastructure, economic infrastructure (market, consumption, production), institutions (rules, regulations,
actors)
– culture: collective set of values, norms, perspectives, paradigms
– practices: routines, behaviour, ways of handling, at the individual level
incumbent structure, culture and practices need to bebroken down and new ones need to be built up
![Page 46: A change of Eras: what does it mean to science?](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062703/5555a0a7b4c905a5178b5324/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Transition = Power Shift
regime: dominant structure, culture and practices with power and vested interests
niche: emerging, divergent structure, culture and practices at a small scale level
niche wants to develop power and take over incumbent regime regime protects itself against this power shift from niches
transition = regime-change = power shift
![Page 47: A change of Eras: what does it mean to science?](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062703/5555a0a7b4c905a5178b5324/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
faculties are silos
research groups are islands
hardly any collaboration
University has Silo Structure

has different phases:
1. pre-development [ consciousness ]
2. breakthrough [ strategy / mission ]
3. acceleration [ DNA of a company ]
4. consolidation [ execution ]
Transition within a University

Conclusions• our society is in tipping point stage of transition
• our economy is decentralizing
• requires transition of our education system
• new kind of science is needed: mode-2 science
• demands for transition within universities
