Our research group participates in evaluations, innovation projects, and collaboration with researchers, professionals, interest organizations, and users. We are concerned with understanding living conditions and welfare from a bottom-up perspective, to develop sustainable welfare systems. We have experience with research in small and large local communities in Northern Norway, and take these insights with us in our analysis of the welfare state.

We are involved in several collaborations, including the Center for Housing and Welfare Research (BOVEL) and the Partnership for Young Inclusion in Nordland.
