Innovation through practice-close research and dissemination

The researchers and partners collaborated closely in a number of projects, some of which were also led by the partners, such as Urban Agriculture (Tromsø municipality), The role of small-scale agriculture in climate and environmental transformation (KS) and The Game of Climate (Lillestrøm municipality). The Young Climate Management project (Asker municipality) has contributed to several innovations to avoid participation in name only and to develop a model that promotes citizenship for children and young people in Asker. In 2022, partners held a whopping 53 presentations related to Include.

International cooperation

2022 was the year when Include's research group in Norway finally got the opportunity to visit its British partners! 13 people took the train ride from Oslo to Durham – via Utrecht, where we met a Dutch research group. In Durham we organised Includes' first international conference. Other international researchers have visited Include, and Include researchers have given keynote lectures in various international contexts, as well as contributed to international processes and in British forums in connection with socially just energy transition.
