2013-2019 Director of Science, Swedish Association for Hunting and Wildlife Management (SAHWM). Starting in 2013, I was in charge of research policies at SAHWM and from 2016, 50 % of my position was devoted to doing research. I mainly worked on disseminating knowledge and applying new findings to game management when not doing research, particularly in management of ecosystem services from game. My job description was an active attempt by me and the SAHWM to bridge the gap between research and management.
