Charlotte Norrman

I am an innovation and entrepreneurship researcher and have been since I started my PhD studies here at LiU in 2003. Over the years, I have worked with evaluation of policy initiatives, biomedical engineering innovation ideas and invention-driven innovation. I have also worked a lot with innovation and entrepreneurship in green industries and agriculture.

Right now, I work a lot with the combination of entrepreneurship/innovation, education and business development and how it can strengthen the regional innovation system and contribute to sustainable welfare in society.

Teaching innovation and entrepreneurship

I teach entrepreneurship, innovation and idea development mostly at the Faculty of Technology, but also at other parts of LiU, e.g. the Healthcare faculty. I am interested in pedagogy and especially experimentally oriented pedagogy that connects to entrepreneurship and what is called "challenge-based learning". This has a close connection to ECIU-university, the European educational initiative in which LiU is one of more than a dozen universities involved parties. Working internationally is fun and provides perspective and inspiration for development at home. I am also involved in the CDIO network and have written several conference papers presented at the annual CDIO conference.

Spread of knowledge

At my google scholar profile you can find examples of my work.

I also like to spread my findings and ideas orally, so contact me if you are interested in what I do.
