Dear colleagues,
I am currently developing an international research project at the IT University of Copenhagen titled "Artificial Intelligence and the Sustainable Development Goals: Addressing Tensions and Fostering Synergies that Decouple Socio-Economic from Environmental Goals." The project investigates how AI can both support and hinder SDG progress, with emphasis on organizational, societal, and policy-level implications across organizations, and the Global North and South.
While I am particularly seeking research partners, institutional collaborators, and joint project opportunities in Europe, I also welcome expressions of interest from colleagues working in other regions.
Areas of collaboration include:
• AI boundaries and sustainability transitions
• Digitalization and organizational decision-making
• Socio-ecological systems, climate action, and circular economy
• Governance, ethics, and responsible AI
• SDG interactions, trade-offs, and synergies
• Paradox theory, systems thinking, and regenerative organizational models
If you are working on related themes-or would like to explore possibilities for co-authored papers, comparative research, datasets, grant applications, or case studies-I would be delighted to connect.
I will be available for short visiting stays (from one week to several weeks) between December 2025 and February 2026 to support collaborative activities.
