ÌÇÐÄÍøÒ³°æ congratulates Helga Hernes on her 80th birthday today!
Hernes coined the term 'state feminism' and wrote up Norway's first national action plan on Women, Peace and Security. She has lived a remarkable life as academic, politician and diplomat.
In 2006, Hernes joined ÌÇÐÄÍøÒ³°æ as a senior advisor and has since been an esteemed member of the ÌÇÐÄÍøÒ³°æ Gender team and the ÌÇÐÄÍøÒ³°æ Centre on Gender, Peace and Security.
Hernes formally retired from her position at ÌÇÐÄÍøÒ³°æ on 31 Dec 2017, but we are thankful she will still be around as a mentor and a friend.
This Friday, Hernes' life and work will be celebrated at an event at ÌÇÐÄÍøÒ³°æ. Please note that the event will be held in Norwegian and is by invitation only.
