Joy Clancy appointed as full professor

The board of the University of Twente has appointed Joy Clancy as full professor as of December 1, 2015. Joy holds the chair of “Gender and Energy” in the faculty of Behavioural, Management and Social Sciences, Department of Governance and Technology for Sustainability (CSTM). Joy’s research has focused, for 30 years, on small-scale energy systems for developing countries particularly the influence in households and small informal sector enterprises. Since obtaining her PhD in engineering (biofuels in engines), her research interest moved more towards social, particularly gender, and environmental issues and that is where her interest now lies. In this context, Joy is also Principal Investigator for the Gender and Energy Research Programme of ENERGIA funded by the UK’s Department for International Development. Joy contributes to CSTM’s education programme, in particular, the Master's Programme Environmental and Energy Management.
