She is particularly interested in the production of economic knowledge and in their articulation with other sciences, especially to deal with climate change.

Béatrice Cointe holds a PhD in sociology from EHESS (2014), which focused on the emergence of photovoltaic technologies and markets in France since the 2000s. She has been a postdoc at TIK Centre for Technology, Innovation and Culture at the University of Oslo, as part of the ERC project « Enacting the Good Economy: Biocapitalization and the Little Tools of Valuation ».
