Eilif has also been an Adjunct Professor of Economics at a number of Bay Area universities. Most of his work has focused on eCommerce, Learning, Innovation, and Virtual Technologies, and in recent years much of his work has focused on the Nordic region. He led a Nordic Innovation project awarded to Silicon Vikings to analyze and describe the emerging Nordic edtech industry and some years later led a similar project to analyze the emerging AR/VR industry in the Nordics and Baltics, focusing on education, learning, and training. He was a Board member of Silicon Vikings for 10 years, including serving as the Chair of the Special Interest Group on Entrepreneurship and Learning since its beginning. Eilif is now Emeritus Board Member
