About
Henrik is an economic geographer whose research explores the intersection of industrial transitions, regional development, and technological change. He applies qualitative methods in his research and has a particular interest in studying regional industrial development and transition, also emphasising the importance of labour, skills, and the role of private and public actors in these development processes. Henrik also studies the transition towards a more circular economy, within different places and industries, and strives to understand how geography impacts circular economy transition processes.
Henrik has a broad research experience in terms of different industrial sectors, such as manufacturing, waste and wastewater sector, oil and gas, and aquaculture. He also has experience in studying the public sector (e.g. municipalities and their role in the green shift) and education systems.
Currently, Henrik leads the Research Council Norway funded project Making the green shift work for regions and the NTNU funded project the Norwegian municipalities’ roles in the green shift (Norske kommuners rolle i det grønne skiftet). Through these and other projects, Henrik has research and education collaborations with institutions such as Newcastle University (UK), Universitas Gadjah Majah (Indonesia), SINTEF, and FAFO.
Research
Norske kommuners rolle i det grønne skiftet
NorSkift-prosjektet utforsker norske kommuners potensielle rolle i omstillingen av det norske samfunnet.
Making the green shift work for regions
The project seeks to better integrate localities and regions, labour markets and working lives as central elements within green shifts, rather than merely as outcomes of this transition.
