It is with huge sadness and shock that we have been informed that our colleague Ketil Skogen passed away suddenly on Saturday the 22nd of April 2023.
Ketil has been employed as a researcher in NINA since 2005 and has contributed greatly to developing the social science research field in the institute. He has built a research group with emphasis on research into conflicts within nature management generally and more specifically relating to large carnivores. In recent years he has also been central in developing social science research on forest conservation and management.
Ketil was an accomplished communicator and very active in debates concerning his research areas. In addition, Ketil was passionate about research ethics and contributed to discussions on this both within and outside the organization. He has made his mark on his areas of expertise and he will be deeply missed by his colleagues in NINA.
Our thoughts and deepest condolences go to his partner, children, and extended family, but also to all who have lost a dear friend and colleague.
Oslo, 23. april 2023
