About Professor Dan Olweus

Professor Olweus was generally recognized as a pioneer and founding father of research on bullying and as a world-leading expert in this area, both by the research community and by society at large. He was also the first to study teachers who bully students. In the early 1970s, he initiated the world’s first systematic bullying research. In the 1980s, he conducted the first systematic intervention study against bullying in the world, which documented positive effects of what is now the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program. The success resulted in Professor Olweus leading a nationwide government initiative to implement OBPP throughout all Norwegian elementary and junior high schools. Professor Olweus received a number of awards and recognitions for his research and intervention work.
