About

I am part of the Innovation Team which is based at the Department for Research and Development. My main area of responsibility is to facilitate the social impact that the university is obliged to contribute to through its core tasks - research and education.

My work at OsloMet consists of

• contributing to building a culture of innovation at OsloMet;
• increasing understanding of social innovation and innovation in the public sector among OsloMets employees and partners;
• facilitating contact and collaboration between researchers and practitioners;
• creating relevant networks;
• building structure around the support service so that research is applied in an easy, comprehensible, and efficient way.

In addition to that, I am the main contact person for Lillestrøm Municipality. Read more about it here (in Norwegian): https://www.oslomet.no/om/samarbeid/universitetskommunar/universitetskommunen-lillestrom
