Ingeborg Skjelmo

Ingeborg Skjelmo serves as a University Lecturer within the Department of Technology and Security at UiT The Arctic University of Norway, based in Tromsø where she operates from room 4.022 of the Teknologibygget building. Her position places her at the intersection of academic instruction and practical security research in Norway's northernmost university.

Her research centers on societal resilience through civil security frameworks, with specific expertise in municipal emergency planning and organizational safety systems. As a core member of the Secure Societies research group, she investigates how communities withstand security threats through projects like [GLOBSEC] Global Security: North–South Partnership—which develops transnational security cooperation—and [NoCoU] Norway Community of Users: Civil Security for Society, which builds community-driven safety protocols. Her work bridges theoretical security models with real-world crisis response scenarios.

Dr. Skjelmo's teaching directly translates her research into practice through four specialized courses: SVF 2101 Beredskapsøvelser (Emergency Exercises) trains students in disaster simulation leadership; SVF-1202 Ulykker og sikkerhet (Accidents and Safety) analyzes systemic failure prevention; SVF-1203 Kommunal sikkerhet og beredskapsplanlegging (Municipal Safety and Emergency Planning) develops local crisis infrastructure; and SVF-1204 Organisasjon og sikkerhet (Organization and Safety) examines institutional risk management. These courses form a cohesive curriculum preparing students for security sector careers in Arctic and global contexts.

Her research projects demonstrate sustained engagement with European civil security initiatives, focusing on community resilience and cross-border threat response. While no individual awards are documented, her participation in [GLOBSEC] and [NoCoU] indicates recognition within international security research networks. Her advisory role manifests through course supervision rather than formal thesis mentoring, with educational impact concentrated in classroom instruction and emergency exercise design.
