  • Entrepreneurship, gender and economic growth - Challenges to feminist theory

    Neither feminist theory, nor extant entrepreneurship theory adequately account for feminist agency and activism within a globalized market economy, in which discourses of entrepreneurship, innovation and economic growth take precedence. This implies challenges of and developments of concepts like enterprise, gender, growth, competition, agency, feminist activism and gender equality, seeking to bridge and combine feminist and entrepreneurship theories in new ways.

  • Making Nordic cities successful climate leaders

    Although many Nordic cities and regions already have sustainability or climate strategies, it has been recognised that they need support and capacity building in implementing these strategies and achieving their climate goals systematically and in a sustainable way. With the help of the NordLead project, Nordic cities will be better able to commit and contribute to the EU sustainability, climate and energy policy as well as Nordic and national goals, which, in the end, are to be implemented on the local level.
