About Jessica Glanzelius

I am a Communication Strategist at the Secretariat. The assignment involves supporting, coordinating and proposing ways forward for the organisation's communication work, both internally and externally. Collaboration and communication are an integral part of the Secretariat's activities. In various collaborative projects I liaise with external parties' Communications Officers. I network with colleagues at national, Nordic and international level. NIKK (Nordic Information on Gender), a cooperation body under the Nordic Council of Ministers, is placed at the Secretariat and is part of the organisation.

Earlier assignments within the University

Within the Central University Administration I was Communications Officer for seven years, at the Division of Academic Support. I was member of the management group, gave strategic communication support to the Head of the Division, to the management group of the division and to project managers of larger, university-wide projects. The following units were part of the Division: Grants and Innovation Office, International Centre, Communication, Educational Affairs as well as the office of the Division.

On the department level I was Head of Information for nine years, at HDK - School of Design and Crafts. I built the communications department from scratch, was member of the management group, gave strategic and practical communication support to the Head of the Department, the other members of management, to staff and students. During the last five years I also had an extra assignment as Deputy Acting Head of Department.

Other

I have worked professionally with communication since 1987. I have long experience and a big interest in strategic communication, leadership and organisation. Apart from the Academy I have worked within municipal organisations, regionally as well as privately owned companies and with non-profit organizations. In terms of content, outside academia I have mainly worked with communication on issues related to film, theatre and human rights.
