Engagement can refer to many different activities for researchers. For me, it involves actively participating in the public debate, communicating research outcomes to different non-academic audiences, and collaborating with specific actors or groups in society within or outside of research projects. Here I have writen down some of my activities related to such engagement.

För forskare kan engagemang handla om många olika aktiviteter. För mig handlar det om att aktivt ta plats i samhällsdebatten, att kommunicera forskningsresultat till olika publiker utanför akademin och samarbeta med specifika aktörer eller organisationer inom eller utanför forskningsprojekt. På den här sidan har jag samlat några av mina aktiviteter som berör ett sådant engagemang.
