WORK HISTORY
Phd Researcher @Sunset Doctoral Network
Stavanger, NO
SUNSET is a European Doctoral Network aiming to develop innovative research and training capacity around city-university interactions driving the EU’s twin green and digital transition. My particular role would be to assess the role of universities (and their R&D engagements) in promoting the twin transition (digital and sustainability) agenda of the European Union. I focus particularly on secondary/peripheral cities - which, over the years have tended to be left out.
