Welcome, Emil. It sounds like you are doing some interesting work with geopolitical forecasting. I believe you will find kindred spirits in INFORMS. It might be helpful if you could attend one of the conferences. Or join one or more of the special interest groups (SIGs) and try to meet some members that way. I don't know if there is a local chapter in Norway; I know there are in the US in major cities.
Glad you are here in the group. Good luck with your PhD.

Hi everyone,
I am excited to be joining INFORMS! I leverage OR to study energy systems and climate policy design, which puts my research at an intersection of OR, climate economics, and energy systems engineering. I am currently finishing up a PhD at NTNU in Norway. Prior to academia, I consulted public and private-sector decision makers on climate policy, including on the design of the European carbon pricing system.
One of my hobbies is geopolitical forecasting, and I guess the probabilities of future events for Good Judgment, an organization dedicated to wisdom-of-the-crowd forecasting, as popularized in the book "Superforecasting".
