      description => protected'Current models for understanding the spatial diffusion of innovation exhibit
          significant limitations when it comes to explaining how transformative inno
         vations in sectors of the foundational economy travel between cities and cou
         ntries. Transformative innovations in infrastructure sectors like water, ene
         rgy, or waste management are typically not reducible to single products or t
         echnologies but rely on a set of complementary organizational, social, polic
         y, and demand-side innovations. Their spatial diffusion thus requires nonlin
         ear socially embedded institutionalization processes that include regulative
         , political, and cultural changes, extending well beyond the knowledge- and 
         market formation dynamics emphasized in conventional diffusion models. This 
         article develops a conceptual model that specifies the socio-technical conte
         xtualization and de-contextualization processes that take place every time a
         n innovative infrastructure innovation travels between places. It disentangl
         es the spatial complexities involved in the packaging of social and technica
         l elements into coherent configurational templates that enable the spatial d
         iffusion of transformative innovations. We apply our framework to a case stu
         dy of the diffusion of circular district-scale sanitation systems (CDSS) in 
         Europe, drawing on fifty-four expert interviews and an extensive database of
          secondary material. Our findings show how a template for CDSS was continuou
         sly optimized and standardized through spatially scattered experiments, pilo
         t and demonstration projects, and high-profile lighthouse initiatives spread
          across Europe. Based on our findings, we elaborate a three-stage phase mode
         l for the institutionalization of configurational templates. The model provi
         des inroads for assessing diffusion challenges in other sectors where transf
         ormative innovation is intimately coupled with socio-technical reconfigurati

      description => protected'Addressing sustainability challenges in mountain regions where human activit
         ies strongly overlap requires multi-actor collaboration and interdisciplinar
         y methods. Yet, such collaborative processes need to account for the existen
         ce of diverse representations of mountain social-ecological systems amongst 
         actors. Here we first explore and describe diverse representations of mounta
         in social-ecological systems using picture-based interviews with local actor
         s. We then develop a conceptual model of such systems that can help actors a
         cknowledge and share their representations. This model integrates the human 
         and natural components of mountain social-ecological systems as well as thei
         r interactions. To further support reflexivity, it also specifies an individ

      description => protected'Hydrogen is gaining interest as a clean energy source from both governments 
         and fossil fuel companies. For hydrogen projects to succeed, securing public
          acceptability is crucial, with trust in the implementing actors playing a c
         entral role. Drawing from reputation management and attribution theory, we e
         xperimentally evaluated whether people's perceptions of energy companies wan
         ting to start producing hydrogen for sustainability reasons differ based on 
         two features of hydrogen production. Specifically, we examined the influence
          of (1) the type of hydrogen (blue versus green) and (2) the energy company'
         s history in energy production (fossil fuels versus renewables) on perceptio
         ns about the companies' reputation management efforts —that is, the belief
          that companies adopt hydrogen primarily to improve their public image— as
          well as on levels of trust, both overall and specifically in terms of integ
         rity and competence. We further explored whether perceived reputation manage
         ment explains the effects on trust, and whether these factors also shape pub
         lic acceptability of hydrogen production itself. Results indicated that peop
         le perceived the company with a history of working with fossil fuels as tryi
         ng to improve its reputation more than one associated with renewables, and t
         rusted it less. Furthermore, perceived reputation management explained the l
         ower (general and integrity-based) trust people had in companies with a past
          in fossil fuels. For public acceptability of hydrogen, the company's histor
         y was not relevant, with green hydrogen being more acceptable than blue, reg
         ardless of which company produced it. We discuss these findings in relation 
         to the literature on public perceptions of hydrogen.' (1724 chars)
