About

My research centers around governance and co-creation between public authorities at local, regional and national level, organized civil society, various types of business actors, and knowledge institutions to develop and implement overarching and long-term goals such as public health, climate change and sustainability. I study how such processes play out at the local level - in local community development, community and spatial planning or in specific political decision-making processes. Leadership is a special interest.
