Other qualifications

2009-2011

Conducted work as project manager and system developer for CeLeKT in the EU project OpenScienceResources (OSR). CeLeKT’s main role in the project was to develop a mobile client for a content repository.

2007-2009

Conducted work as one of the Swedish partners (CeLeKT) in the COMSOS project. The COSMOS project is a pan-European initiative co-funded by the European Commission under the eContentPlus programme.
