About

Rune Halvorsen, PhD in sociology, is professor of social policy, co-director of CEDIC -Centre for the study of digitalization of public services and citizenship (https://www.oslomet.no/en/cedic) and co-director of The Norwegian Research School on Digitalisation, Culture and Society. His main interests are European and comparative welfare policy, social citizenship, EU social policy, and citizenship movements. Halvorsen’s central concern is to contribute new knowledge for the future social Europe. He has contributed to theorisation of changes in social citizenship, welfare governance and structure/agency dynamics in mature welfare states. Empirically his research has focused on labour market inclusion policies, disability policy, poverty, youth transitions, self-organisation and social mobilisation among marginalised population groups, and how the adoption of new ICT shape the opportunities for participation of persons with disabilities (eInclusion). He has coordinated and participated in several cross-national and cross-disciplinary research projects funded by the EU (FP7 and Horizon 2020 collaborative projects, Marie Curie ITN and IF), the Nordic Council and the Research Council of Norway. In 2020-2023 he is the Scientific Coordinator of EUROSHIP - Closing gaps in social citizenship. New tools to foster social resilience in Europe. From 2019, he is the co-chair of the Nordic ESPAnet – Network for European Social Policy Analysis, and a council member at the Nordic Centre at Fudan University, Shanghai.
