Introduction

My research interests include sustainable education and development, lifelong learning through horizontal green skills and capacity building, climate and innovation awareness, as well as studies in educational and social sciences, innovation, and science policy. I am a researcher in sustainable education and a member of the SustainERA research group for sustainable futures. I also lead the interdisciplinary environmental change cluster KEKO and serve as the director of the Baltic University Programme’s Estonian Centre. Previously, I have headed Tallinn University’s Open Academy, worked in the private sector (Technopolis Group) as a consultant, and in the public sector as a policymaker and analyst (Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications, Estonian Academy of Sciences). Currently, I also contribute to policy research and planning at the European University Continuing Education Network (EUCEN) and the European Future Innovation Systems Centre (EFIS).
