About

Tanja Sinozic studied science and technology policy, planning, environmental policy, and economics, and is interested in how technologies evolve and interact with the economy and society.

Education

Tanja Sinozic completed her PhD at SPRU, University of Sussex, her MPhil at the University of Cambridge and her BSc at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). Her doctorate in Science and Technology Policy Studies, obtained in 2014, investigated learning processes in diagnostic imaging technologies in the UK National Health Service (NHS).

Experience

Before joining ITA in October 2015, Tanja Sinozic worked at the Department of Socioeconomics at the WU Vienna University of Economics and Business on the evolution of the medical devices, New Media, and environmental technology sectors in Vienna and in Austria (cluster-life-cycles.eu), and on the interactions between the EU and neighbouring countries on issues of technology policy (SEARCH Project). During her time in the UK, Tanja worked at SPRU, University of Sussex, on the topics of anchor firms in pharma-biotech, and at CMIS and at CENTRIM, University of Brighton, on user innovation.

    DOIDownloadRISENWBIB Abstract

    -> Traffic congestion costs the EU over €80 billion annually.
    -> All major European cities face the challenge of reducing congestion, pollution and accidents in the years to come.
    -> Currently, there is no single consistent mobility pricing scheme in Austria. Various approaches for different transport modes co-exist.
    -> Mobility behaviour can be governed sustainably by optimising pricing patterns for all modes of transport and directing them towards common goals.

    -> Staus kosten die EU jährlich über 80 Milliarden Euro.
    -> Alle großen europäischen Städte stehen aktuell vor der Herausforderung, Staus, Umweltverschmutzung und Unfälle zu reduzieren.
    -> Derzeit gibt es in Österreich kein einheitliches Mobilitätspreissystem, sondern parallele Ansätze für verschiedene Verkehrsträger.
    -> Mobilitätsverhalten kann nachhaltig gesteuert werden, indem die Preise für alle Verkehrsträger optimiert und auf gemeinsame Ziele ausgerichtet werden.

    -> Blockchain ist eine dezentral organisierte Datenbank, die eine ständig wachsende Liste von Transaktionen archiviert und verwaltet.
    -> Alle Informationen über Transaktionen werden permanent in einer Datenbank gespeichert, die an allen Knotenpunkten des Netzwerkes parallel vorliegt.
    -> Blockchain bietet Autonomie für Einzelpersonen abseits von zentralen „Zwischenhändlern“ wie Behörden und Banken.
    -> Diese Dezentralisierung reduziert jedoch die derzeitigen Formen der regulatorischen Kontrolle.
    -> Mögliche negative soziale und ökonomische Folgen werden weniger vorhersehbar und handhabbar.

    DOIDownloadRISENWBIB Abstract

    -> Blockchain is a decentrally organised database that archives and manages an evergrowing list of transactions.
    -> All information on transactions is permanently stored in a database that parallely exists at all nodes of a peer-to-peer network.
    -> Blockchain provides autonomy for individuals away from ‘middlemen’ such as public authorities and banks.
    -> However, this decentralisation rapidly reduces current forms of regulatory control.
    -> Possible negative social and economic consequences become less predictable and manageable.

    DOIDownloadRISENWBIB Abstract

    -> Robots are expanding beyond factory spaces for car assembly or product delivery into transportation, healthcare and housework.
    -> Rapid progress in software algorithms allows the automation of tasks in middle-income jobs that originally required human training, practice and knowledge.
    -> Online platforms are shifting firm and sectoral boundaries, and opening them up to more competition under much less regulation.
    -> These changes hold opportunities for domestic industries; however, there are uncertainties in the degree to which this will affect overall employment.
    -> What do governments need to do to ensure that these changes raise, rather than lower, economic and social well-being?
