IDE Assistant Professor selected for WWNA Apply Award
IDE Assistant Professor Abhigyan Singh’s project, ‘Conceptualizing Inter-household Energy Exchanges’, has been selected for the WWNA Apply Award. The award is in connection with the 1st annual WWNA Apply Awards hosted by the European Association of Social Anthropologists’ Applied Anthropology Network. Abhigyan is one of three winners selected by an international jury.
He will find out whether his research has placed first, second, or third during the award ceremony at the Why the World Needs Anthropologists (WWNA) event in Prague from 10-12 September 2021.
‘Conceptualizing Inter-household Energy Exchanges’
My research explores the convergence of design and anthropology, specifically in the application context of energy transitions. At a broad level, my work contributes towards the development of the sub-discipline of design anthropology. One of the reasons why I am happy about this award is that it brings attention to our (IDE’s) research amongst anthropologists.

The 1st annual WWNA Apply Awards
At this year’s Why the World Needs Anthropologists conference, we will celebrate change-makers who are creating movements across the globe: those who inspire us to roll up our sleeves and take action.
The annual WWNA Apply Awards recognizes outstanding achievement in translating anthropological knowledge into action as reflected in a single project or specific endeavour. This year we specifically focus on the value of applying anthropology to create sustainable and liveable futures.
