About CAMELOT Many of today's most consequential governance challenges, including climate change and Earth system risks, unfold over decades, centuries, or longer. Yet political institutions and decision-making processes often struggle to engage effectively with such long-term futures. CAMELOT investigates the capacities that enable individuals, groups, and institutions to think about and govern for the long term. The project develops new theory on long-term governance capacities and studies how such capacities can be strengthened through experimental and participatory research. It brings together insights from political science, public administration, environmental governance, sustainability science, futures studies, psychology, and related fields. CAMELOT is a five-year research project funded by a European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator Grant and led by associate professor Manjana Milkoreit at OsloMet.

Key tasks will include: identifying, collecting, organizing, and synthesizing relevant academic literature across several fields conducting targeted background research and preparing research summaries and short research memos to support the development of academic publications supporting manuscript preparation, including reference management, citation checking, formatting, and preparation of supplementary
