As Sofi Eriksson joins Nordic Energy Research as Senior Communications Adviser, she brings nearly a decade of experience in strategic communications and cross-border cooperation — and expands her focus to the Nordic energy sector.
Most recently, Eriksson served as Advisor at Greater Copenhagen, a political cooperation organisation working to strengthen the competitiveness of the metropolitan region across eastern Denmark and southern Sweden. There, she worked with communications, analysis, and public affairs to support an integrated labour market and cross-border mobility.
Previously, she was responsible for external communications and impact measurement at Innovation Skåne, a regional innovation company advancing solutions in areas such as healthcare and mobility.
Turning insights into impact
Eriksson has worked across the full communication process — from developing analysis-based insights and strategic narratives to translating complex findings into clear and compelling messages. Her experience also includes public affairs and policy engagement, with a focus on turning insights into concrete impact in decision-making.
She holds a Bachelor of Science in Political Science with a specialisation in Economics, as well as a degree in Journalism from Lund University — a combination that strengthens her ability to bridge analysis and storytelling.
A Nordic perspective on the energy transition
At Nordic Energy Research, Eriksson will now apply her experience to the energy sector — an area she describes as both urgent and fundamental.
“The energy transition is a prerequisite for our societies to continue developing and for us to leave our planet in a better condition for future generations. Having the opportunity to contribute to positive progress in this area is truly inspiring.”
With professional experience from Copenhagen, a Swedish background, and close ties to Norway, she brings a strong Nordic perspective to the role.
“Both professionally and personally, I have experienced the added value of collaboration across Nordic borders — and how much stronger we become when we work together.”
This perspective aligns closely with Nordic Energy Research’s mission to advance the energy transition through collaboration across countries, institutions, and disciplines.
