Ida Eri Sorbye has worked as a freelance journalist in Norway and is currently project manager for innovation and sustainability at Nasjonalparken Næringshage.
Ida Eri Sorbye works on empowering people and organisations to innovate by identifying opportunities for change and finding innovative solutions to complex problems within large organisations. She is passionate about building sustainable innovation ecosystems where good ideas can emerge and promising solutions can be taken forward.
She holds a joint Master's degree in Political Communication and Journalism from the University of Amsterdam and the University of Aarhus, where she wrote her thesis on the coverage of the refugee crisis in the Scandinavian media. As a freelance journalist, she has worked on development projects in Peru, women's migration from Nigeria to Europe and illegal electronic waste flows from Europe to Nigeria.
She is addicted to nature and spends as much time as possible outdoors. Her longest love affair with nature was the four months she spent skiing in the mountains from the southernmost to the northernmost tip of Norway, with only a tent and a sled for company. Spending long periods in the wilderness taught her about perseverance and the importance of working together to solve challenges - skills that apply to all other areas of her life and work.
