Dina von Heimburg

About

I work as:

Associate Professor in Counseling
Head of NTNU WellFare – Nordic Research Centre for Wellbeing and Social Sustainability
Head of the WHO Collaborating Centre on Well-being and Social Sustainability

I hold a PhD in sociology, a master’s degree in health sciences, and a bachelor’s degree in nursing. I also have extensive experience as a public health coordinator, advisor, and community planner in the municipal sector as well as experience from working within NGOs and philanthropic organizations.

My current research explores how conditions of fairness, experiences of mattering, and outcomes of wellbeing intersect across ecological levels to foster personal, relational, and collective wellbeing. I am particularly interested in intergenerational fairness, wellbeing economies, and green and fair societal transitions, and in how data-driven and people-powered approaches can support systems change.

I use mixed methods and transdisciplinary approaches to study initiatives that focus on co-creation, relational welfare, and democratic innovation. This includes the redesign of institutional landscapes and the evolving roles of public, civil, and private actors in co-creating public values and common goods. I aim to bridge theory, empirical research, and practice through action research, innovative interventions, and research-informed policy processes that advance social sustainability and wellbeing for all.

Affiliations

Scientific advisor and collaborator, WHO/Europe on the Wellbeing Economy and Health Equity Initiatives
Member in the working group so support WEAll Norway - Wellbeing Economy Alliance Norway
Member of a wide range of international research and policy networks on wellbeing, equity and co-creation

Editorial boards

Supervision
I supervise master’s students and PhD candidates on various topics related to wellbeing, equity, mattering, welfare innovation, relational and asset-based approaches, co-creation, democratic governance and systems change.
