Niels Henrik Helms is President of FLUID – the Danish Network for Flexible Learning in Education and Training. He has previously served among others as Associate Professor at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) and docent at University College Copenhagen (KP).
His research and development work focuses on flexible and distance learning, exploring how digital and hybrid formats transform education and professional practice.
