Summary
Thorkil Klint is a survey methodologist and director who builds and oversees political polling and quantitative data collection for researchers and media, currently leading Epinion’s polling and social science efforts. With eight years of hands-on experience rising from junior consultant to director, he blends rigorous academic training (MSc in Political Science, exchange at UC Berkeley) with practical expertise in questionnaire design, Stata/NVivo instruction, and public-facing data storytelling for outlets like DR and Altinget. He chairs the Selskab for Surveyforskning board, actively shaping how survey methods are taught and practised in Denmark. Colleagues rely on him for large-scale survey operations, variable coding/merging, and translating complex results into clear visuals and reports. Not obvious from titles: he combines academic research sensibilities with media-grade presentation skills, making him equally comfortable advising scholars and preparing broadcast-ready analyses. Based in Copenhagen, he balances professional leadership with a noted penchant for songwriting and family life.
