Job description

I have in the last decade contributed to internationalization of higher education and the development of the Bachelor of Northern (BNS) studies degree program at UiT. BNS is a teaching program designed for students who want to develop a multi-disciplinary competence on the circumpolar North.

I have also been involved in several research and development projects connected in particular to the Barents Euro-Arctic Region (BEAR), Norwegian - Russian Arctic Schengen borderland development and conducted research on identification processes, place branding, policy making, integration and region building and on joint education initiatives (Barents Arctic Network on Higher Education and Reseach). More recently I have also engaged in transatlantic cooperation involving Canadian and US partners.
