title: Biosmart Questionaire – BIOSMART: Managing the Transition to a “Smart” Bio-economy, 2016

description: The objective of the Biosmart project is to promote a smart transition towards a bio-economy. A questionnaire among enterprises within sectors that are connected to the bio-economy was carried out as a part of the Biosmart project. The sample of sectors were chosen on the basis of earlier work in the European Commission's Bio-economy panel, work that includes sectors such as industry, teaching and research, but also the primary industries agriculture, forestry and fisheries, adapted to Norwegian conditions and debate. The objective of the survey was to identify how different relevant sectors imagine that the bio-economy would look like in 2030, and which part they imagine that they would play themselves within this economy. BIOSMART will promote a «smart» transition by conducting an encompassing foresight analysis that involves relevant interested parties and actors in the bio-economy. A preliminary, encompassing foresight process in form of a survey, that would involve 1500 enterprises within agriculture, forestry, fish farms, fisheries, industry and biotechnology, will lead to separate industry scenarios for bio-economic development. Further, a number of scientific studies will be conducted and play a key role in the further foresight process. These will look at the biotechnological transitional processes in Norway, questions about IP and area use rights, and how the resources planned to be used in the bio-economy can be made available and how the bio-economic development can be most ideally localized, and whether the new bio-economy will be environmentally sustainable and energy efficient, and what scope and level of the added value could be expected. These studies will present important contributions to the second round of foresight analyses, which will develop four integrated scenarios for bio-economic development across all sector industries and interested parties, and which will propose new ways to achieve these transitions. BIOSMART will contribute with a number of results of great importance for the research-, counselling- and the political fields. The most important contribution will nevertheless be to prepare the industries, the governments and the rest of society for the coming transition towards a “smart” bio-economy. For further information about ”Biosmart Questionaire – BIOSMART: Managing the Transition to a “Smart” Bio-economy, 2016”, please contact the principal investigator. The data set is complexed and is following the objective of the Biosmart project, with complicated questions/follow up questions that entails that the data set is not suited for external use.

title: BIOSMART: Managing the transition to a "smart" bioeconomy, 2016

description: BIOSMART WP 4 studies the prospects for the population's acceptance of a bio economic transition. The analyses reveal in general positive reactions to the bio economy, and how this is particularly connected to two aspects: global utility value and naturalness. A present premise that is important for a positive reception of a bio economic transition in Norway is the fundamental trust of the public authorities that is constantly reflected in the interviews. At the same time; the data show that the sociopolitical acceptance is stronger than the local community acceptance and the market acceptance, and that people are making strict demands for a regulated, controlled, and considerate bio economic development. A lot are admitting that they wish for the smallest possible changes or intervention in their “own backyards” (in their own local communities), and further it was emphasized that new solutions and productions cannot happen at the expense of the Norwegian food production.

title: The Factors Behind Participation: Evidence from the European Framework Programme, Horizon 2020, 2019

description: Public sector PhD-project (246964) that has looked more closely on the terms for participation among research institutes across Europe. In 2014, the Norwegian government launched the strategy for Norway's research and innovation relationship with the EU. The strategy paints an ambitious goal for the participation in the EU framework program for research and innovation, Horizon 2020, and the European Research Area (ERA). A main objective is to increase the return share to Norwegian researchers from 1,67 per cent under the last framework program to 2 per cent. Because of larger budgets under Horizon 2020, such a goal would demand an activity growth of about 60 per cent. In order to meet the goal the government developed the strategy with 49 different measures for increased participation. Even though the degree of participation and return shares from announced funds for research and innovation in the EU programs are well known, one know very little about which factors that's contributing to the application and acquirement of funding of different organizations. In this field, the research is still insufficient, especially in a Norwegian context. In the light of this research gap the PhD-project, seek to towards uncovering different factors that contribute to and hinder the participation on research and innovation cooperation with the EU. The project will especially evaluate the effect of national measures and programmes for mobilizing increased participation. The benefit of the project is not limited to the research field in itself, but will be of particular value to the Norwegian Ministry of Education and Research work on research political challenges and the following-up of the EU-strategy. The project is asking a broad, but original, research question concerning which factors that is contributing to the ability of Norwegian organisations to acquire funding from the EUs research programmes on different structural levels.

title: Adapting Coastal Zone Management to Ocean Acidification, 2016

description: Ocean acidification in concert with climate change and other anthropogenic stressors will lead to unprecedented and profound changes in coastal ecosystems. There is little knowledge of the processes of ocean acidification in Norwegian coastal areas, about the potential consequences, to what extent ocean acidification will interact with other ecosystem stressors, and how society may respond to this situation. Sustainable management of the coastal areas therefore hinge on the ability to address and mitigate ocean acidification and ocean acidification impacts. In order to make ocean acidification a governable issue, this project produced more knowledge about ocean acidification in the coastal zone, and gained new insight into how this knowledge can be co-produced with those who uses it for governance and industry purposes. Ocean acidification and climate change add uncertainties on several levels for coastal zone management, which raises the need for better knowledge on how governance regimes can operate in an effective way given such uncertainties. 

Through two case studies and measurements in coastal areas in southern and northern Norway, the project provides new knowledge about ocean acidification and ocean acidification impacts on coastal areas and develop models for how this knowledge can be used for coastal management. A sustainable economic development in Norway depends on well-functioning coastal zone management that are able to effectively respond to ocean acidification and other drivers of change. This project contributed to new and relevant knowledge to ensure such management. The project also assessed the ability of coastal management institutions to adapt to ocean acidification in a situation involving complex uncertainties. The studies in Norway were complemented by a knowledge exchange with Scotland, which allowed for comparisons across different coastal management systems facing similar ocean acidification-challenges. Stakeholder representatives were involved at all stages of the project. It is a transdisciplinary project, including marine scientists, anthropologists and environmental governance scholars.

title: Interviews with biocurators, Crossover Research 2.0, 2017

description: The objective of the project was the development of a broadly enabling ICT-founded “Knowledge Commons” for the Life Sciences and the Health and Biotechnology sector. The Crossover Research II project explored how RRI initiatives could help shape well-constructed Knowledge Commons structures in the research context of engineering them. Integrated projects put emphasis on productive academic collaboration between the humanities and the sciences. The project socially contextualized this effort by collaboratively designing a “prototypical system” for Knowledge Commons building and its subsequent use and exploitation.

title: Hug the Streets - Growing a Multifunctional Urban Tree-Parking Infrastructure, 2016 - Interviews

description: 'Hug the Streets' proposed and prepared the ground for a transition from car to people-centred urban design and planning, by examining if and how multifunctional city-wide green infrastructures can make for more liveable streets. Using the symbolic power of trees as change agents - parking trees where cars are parked today, the project aimed to make streets more liveable. Tackling demographic and climatic challenges that Nordic cities will be facing in the coming decades, the project proposed green multifunctional infrastructure solutions. The project explored the possibilities and the value of integrating above and below ground systems for energy, water, and soft mobility, with natural ecosystems; proposed integrated concepts; and enabled relevant stakeholders to materialise the proposed solutions.

In order to tackle the complex and interrelated challenges to realise this idea, the project made use of an interdisciplinary and holistic, stakeholder-driven approach, combining perspectives from landscape architecture, engineering, participatory and sustainable design, political science, arboriculture and social anthropology. Concentrating on selected Norwegian cities, the project worked at three intertwined scales: the human, the street and the city scale. At the human scale, the project explored how to conceptualise urban infrastructures and map and involve the stakeholders that develop, maintain and use them in co-creating liveable streets. At the street scale, the project mapped practices and interests, conflicts and synergies, to identify opportunities for fostering change, and to develop and evaluate a portfolio of concepts for multifunctional green infrastructures. At the city scale, the project explored the value of a city-wide rollout of such infrastructures, and develop and equip stakeholders with the means for fostering the transition towards it.

This project consists of both anonymized transcripts of interviews and survey data. This study contains the anonymized interview transcripts. The survey data from the project can also be ordered.

title: International Care Of the Dying Evaluation (CODE): Quality of Care for Cancer Patients As Perceived By Bereaved Relatives, 2018

description: Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, and the number of cancer cases is increasing. An important part of cancer care is to ensure dying cancer patients and their families the best treatment, care and attention, wherever they are. A common way to evaluate the care of the dying is via a questionnaire to the relatives some time after the death. This project had partners from Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Poland, Germany, the United Kingdom and Norway. The aim was to develop a common, international questionnaire to evaluate care in the dying phase, an international report on the status of care at the end of life, as well as guidance in using results from the questionnaire for specific improvement measures. In the project, the English questionnaire CODE was translated into the main language of each country and pilot-tested on volunteers from the population and survivors of cancer deaths. Through a consensus process, we arrived at a common, international version of the form (i-CODE). i-CODE was then used in an international survey of survivors of cancer deaths in hospitals in the seven countries. The results showed aspects of treatment and care that worked well, but also areas in need of improvement, in the individual country or across countries. The results from the survey were discussed in focus group interviews with survivors in each individual country, with emphasis on the "weakest" areas. Based on these inputs, quality improvement measures were implemented at the participating hospitals. The interventions in Argentina and Poland were included in the project plan and used recognized quality improvement methodologies. The effect of the interventions was mapped using action research. The other partners take measures on a smaller scale. The project has resulted in an international, validated questionnaire (i-CODE) to evaluate the care of dying patients and their relatives, an international report on the status of the care of the dying and guidance on how the results of i-CODE can be used for concrete measures to improve care at the end of life.
