Since 2002, Sverker Sörlin has been Professor of Environmental History at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm. His main research interests address the role of knowledge in environmentally informed modern societies, and in research and innovation policies, a field in which he also serves as a policy analyst and advisor. His current research projects encompass the role of models in climate science and policy, historical images of Arctic futures, and the role of industrial research institutes in changing Swedish and European research and innovation landscapes. Another area of interest is the history of landscapes. A major recent development was the KTH Environmental Humanities Laboratory, which was founded in 2012. Sverker holds a PhD in the history of science and ideas from Umeå University, Sweden, where he assumed the first chair of Environmental History in Scandinavia in 1993, after a period as associate director of the Center for the History of Science at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. He held an adjunct position in the Stockholm Resilience Center at Stockholm University and visiting positions at Berkeley, Cambridge, Oslo, and the University of Cape Town. In 2013–14, he was a fellow of the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton. He was the founding director of the Swedish Institute for Studies in Education and Research (SISTER). Along with his academic career, Sverker is engaged in environmental and research policy advice in Sweden and, internationally, he served on the Swedish government’s research board and currently is a member of the government’s environmental research board.
