Completed activities

These research activities are now completed and we are no longer actively working on them.

Gender
The Nordic region is the European leader in gender equality, but when it comes to leadership positions in research and innovation, men dominate just as widely here as in the rest of Europe. Through new and innovative, yet focused and result-oriented activities, this joint Nordic initiative sought to make a significant contribution to gender issues on the research and innovation agenda. The aim of the initiative was to pinpoint the reason for why the research and innovation area has not followed the trend towards a gender equal society and to identify the measures needed to remedy this.
Sustainable Urban Development and Smart Cities
The aim of the research area is to promote cooperation between the knowledge communities in the Nordic countries in order to enhance opportunities and address challenges to sustainable urban development and smart cities.
