xG-tabellen, runde 30: Tre lag ender likt på poeng etter xU for Molde i siste runde. Her må vi kanskje vente på fintellingen med å avgjøre. Glimt med best xG-forskjell. Fortjent nedrykk for Odd, mens Lillestrøm har vært litt uheldige.

Special day today with even two presentations at the Center for Innovation Research, first one being "Tracking the public perception of heat pumps - A sentiment analysis of German news articles" by Sebastian Losacker

Today's second presentation is about "Current health issues in Norwegian salmon farming and the challenges estimating their costs" given by Cecilie Sviland Walde from the Norwegian Veterinary Institute.

Non-metropolitan regions can be hotspots of progress. Research in EPA: Economy and Space by Grillitsch et al. shows that bold, local agency—entrepreneurs, reformers, visionaries—creates opportunities. Growth lies in people’s ambitions, not the map’s margins. 🌍 doi.org/10.1177/030851…

Her er oversikten over Vikings sjanser for seeding i Conference League, for eventuelt interesserte lyttere av Vikingpodden sin nyttårsepisode. Muligens relevant for Stig Nilssen og Kjetil Flygind også.

Regional #development strategies should identify a place's unique potential—not merely echo its neighbours, say Kornel Pylak et al. in Regional Studies - @regionalstudies.bsky.social. Imitating others erodes impact. #Innovation thrives on place-sensitive strategies, not on imitation. doi.org/10.1080/003434…

Economic #growth is built on political trust. Research with Jonathan Muringani & Rune Dahl Fitjar shows that political #trust is a key engine of #progress. Without it, even great policies falter. Building trust is how economies can break stagnation & develop. doi.org/10.1007/s00168…

Political trust powers economic #growth. Research with Jonathan Muringani & Rune Dahl Fitjar shows that regions with strong #trust convert good governance and social cohesion into lasting prosperity. Trust is more than a social good; it is a driver of progress. doi.org/10.1007/s00168…

A PhD that’s more than a PhD. The Universitetet i Stavanger offers two fully funded fellowships on the Nordic battery value chain, linking geopolitics and sustainability. A chance to shape industrial transformation at the highest level. Details: 🔗 jobbnorge.no/en/available-j…

Innovation is worshipped as progress, but its rewards are seldom shared equally. Tech #clusters thrive while others wither; green tech demands materials extracted at human cost. Check the intro to the Regional Studies - @regionalstudies.bsky.social issue on the dark side of #innovation. doi.org/10.1080/003434…

Today's special guest at the Centre for Innovation Research: Andrés Rodríguez-Pose, giving a talk about "Green Fault Lines - The Rise of Discontent and Europe’s Dwindling Capacity to Combat Climate Change"

The ERSA Prize goes to Michael Storper—a scholar who has made cities legible, regions intelligible, and theory usable. Few have married rigour and relevance with such grace. Fewer still are as admired in print as they are in person. A richly earned honour. ersa.org/2025/03/25/ers…
