About us / who we are |
||
Jakobsgaard Research is an independent consultancy headed by Hans Erik Jakobsgaard Stolten and based 15 km south of Copenhagen, Denmark. Hans Erik holds an MA and a PhD from University of Copenhagen, where he has worked as a lecturer and assistant professor for several years. For some years, he was a research fellow of the Nordic Africa Institute in Uppsala, Sweden. Before that, he worked for the Public Record Office and the Department for Taxes and Duties in Denmark. Being a small firm, we rely on frequent cooperation with a network of associated researchers, analysts, and consultants with experience from academia and the education sector, national aid organisations, NGOs, public authorities, and the private sector. In addition to its small core staff, JR can draw on a resource base of specialists from the arts and social sciences. We also cooperate with development experts, working in fields like institution building, human resources and community development in third world and transitional economies.
We will work closely together with your staff to determine the best approach to your project by formulating the research problem and developing a research plan. Together we will produce the research report that meets your needs. Our associates have broad-spectrum work experience and deep expertise from developing countries as well as from organisations and companies in Nordic and other advanced economies. Using state of the art IT-tools, we are able to communicate solutions to clients in any part of the world. JR considers itself a combination of consultancy, research cooperation, think-tank, and non-governmental academic organisation. With much of our work in the donor funded sector, we carry out multidisciplinary studies of economy, politics, civil society, education, culture, and international relations. We do not directly implement long-term, on-site projects. Our role is to provide support to institutions, individuals, organisations, donors and their implementing partners. Among our activities are:
Mission We research your records, interview key personalities and bring your story to life through creative writing. We take great pride in putting genuine social science quality into all our work; both in narrowly defined analyses and in broader investigations. We seek to deliver excellence, to catalyse and promote innovation, and stimulate strategic thinking in relation to different kinds of development schemes and programmes. |
