Research

I am a professor of European Public Policies and Well-being at Roskilde School of Governance, Institute for Social Science and Business, Roskilde University. Here I am also responsible for the PhD programme Public Policy and Administration and co-directs the National Network of Welfare State Researchers.

I am currently a member of two Danish government Commissions:

1. In the Reform Commission we examine how reforms of public policies and institutions can go beyond economic incentives and mandates to increase education among youth, decrease marginalisation and improve jobs. This Commission was set down in November 2020 and is expected to make recommendations as it goes along and to finalise its proposals ultimo 2022.
2. The Expert Committee on Social Affairs

Finally, I am an expert and country coordinator in the European Social Policy Network (ESPN) that advice the European Commission on social policy matters (2014-). ESPN conducts thematic social policy studies related to the European agenda, e.g. social investments, homelessness, pension adequacy, and long-term care.
