In the Research Portal you can search and find information about all active researchers, units, publications, projects, infrastructures, and more, to get an overview of Lund University research.

My interest in interdisciplinary research and international collaboration led me to apply for the position of director of the Center for Öresund Region Studies. The center's mission to strengthen and promote encounters between representatives of different academic disciplines, between academia and professional life, and between research and the public is both interesting and important. In a time of growing divides and polarized opinions, researchers have a crucial role to play in contributing to the public debate with well-founded knowledge on current issues based on their research.

2023-2025 I was a member of the steering committee of the "Center for Modern European Studies – An Öresund Network of Lund University, Malmö University and University of Copenhagen" (CEMES), and leader of one of its research groups "Öresund Comparative Borderlands Reseach Group".

From 2023 to 2025, I was project manager for the Swedish part of the international interdisciplinary project “Infrastructuring the Social: Public Libraries and their Transformative Capacity in Austerity Urbanism” (ILIT). ILIT was funded by JPI Urban Europe within Horizon 2020. The project was led by a researcher from the Netherlands and included researchers from the Netherlands, Austria, and Sweden.
