COMPOSITE was selected as part of the "Norwegian Police Academy Programme" during their visit in the Netherlands in February 2013. A group of 23 police officers from the strategic level of the Norwegian police spent a week in the Netherlands. On their agenda were among others visits to the Dutch Police Directorate, the Royal Dutch Shell and EUROPOL. The Norwegian Embassy had also requested Rotterdam School of Management for a presentation on COMPOSITE. Dr Saskia Bayerl and Dr Gabriele Jacobs presented on February 6 the general set up and insights of COMPOSITE, and more specifically an overview on studies of social media within COMPOSITE. The Norwegian police officers were very interested in the project and shared their perspective and experiences of change initiatives and identity in the Norwegian police. It became clear, that the Scandinavian perspective on policing and organisational change would be fruitful to include into further research activities. Follow up contacts from this presentation let us hope that we might establish some collaboration in the one or other form.
