Aftenposten believes: Headless stamping of Hellestveit

It is legitimate to discuss whether the internationalization of research has gone too far.

Researcher Cecilie Hellestveit at the Institute of International Law believes that central disciplines are now so dominated by foreign researchers that Norwegian professional traditions, recruitment and interests can be undermined. She wants a discussion about the development.

The theme is not new. In Klassekampen in 2017, Professor Øyvind Østerud said that internationalization “has reached a tipping point that can make publicly funded research irrelevant to Norwegian society”.
