Did my PhD on Tuberculosis and my post-doc in Health Economics. I've been at the Institute for Future studies and active in the World Values Survey network since the early 90's. Worked in Sophia Antipolis, Southern France for many years as professor of Future studies and communication strategies. Most recent project: A Migrant World Values Survey in Sweden. We have data from more than hundred countries on values and social norms in the World Values Survey, but we lack representative data on people migrating from one country to another. We have now completed the very first migrant WVS in Sweden, with 6,500 respondents from the main non-european migrant countries.
