Education:
MA in Pedagogy and History and a Ph.D. in Educational Research from Roskilde University.

Field of work and position of trust:
I am in charge of the daily management of the Centre for Youth Research along with Niels Ulrik Sørensen, who is deputy head of CeFU.

Besides, I work as a researcher and project manager on several studies in the education and marginalization area and I manage a variety of positions of trust, including:

  • Member of expert committee appointed by the Prime Minister under the Ministry for Kids, Education, and Equality which serves to encourage more young people to complete and youth education
  • Member of the Presidency of the newly established Council of Secondary Education under the Ministry of Education
  • Member of stakeholder advisory board affiliated with the research program at Copenhagen Business School on trends in youth unemployment in Europe under the EU's Seventh Framework Programme
  • I participate in the panel of judges of the daily newspaper Politiken's competition for innovative teachers and environments in secondary education
  • Personally appointed Vice-President of the National Dialogue Forum for education and career guidance under the Minister of Education
  • Personally appointed member of the Academy committee for New Nordic School under the Minister of Education (www.nynordiskskole.dk)

Field of research:
My research is based on a broad sociological view of youth life as it unfolds in light of prevailing social conditions and processes of change. Based on this, I am especially interested in young people in the education system and the gray areas between education and work, but also in other areas of youth life.

My key skills are: Youth, education, lower secondary education, transition to secondary education, vocational training, marginalized young people, guidance and motivation.

Specifically, my research projects include:

  • Young people's motivation and desire for learning and education
  • Young people's transition from primary to secondary education
  • Young people in secondary education
  • Young people and educational and career guidance
  • Young people and ideas about future education and jobs
  • Young people in danger of not being able to finish an education or being unable to handle the job market
  • Young people at odds with society

3 interesting publications:

  • Young people's motivation and learning - 12 experts on the motivational crisis in the education system
  • Youth life
  • Is confidence enough? The importance of trust in retaining young people in education

Prizes:
Noemi received the Mads Rasmussen Memorial Prize in April 2013, for her hard work and research in creating awareness and understanding of the value of vocational education in our society.
