Nordic added value
NordForsk funded projects create Nordic added value in a number of ways. For example by enhancing the scientific quality and building critical expertise at the Nordic level.
Nordic added value in NordForsk projects
What type of Nordic added value is created in NordForsk funded projects? The figure below provides insight.
The figure shows what type of Nordic added value the projects produce. The data is extracted from live results in Researchfish in June 2022, at a time when 107 of 136 registered projects had reported Nordic added value..
For full explanation of categories, see How we define Nordic added value.
Although the figure primarily provides indications, it is fair to conclude that it demonstrates that Nordic added value is created over a wide range of areas, and that NordForsk's activities contribute to strengthening both Nordic co-operation in general and Nordic research co-operation in particular.

Researchers conclude: The pandemic has challenged the Nordic school model
For a few pupils, home-schooling during the pandemic has worked better than regular education. But for most, it was worse. This is clearly shown by completely new findings from a major Nordic research project funded by NordForsk.
New models to predict the spread of infectious diseases
More and more animals from southern climes carrying infectious micro-organisms are migrating north due to global warming. Researchers at the CLINF Nordic Centre of Excellence have developed new models to predict the spread of these infectious diseases.
Common challenges, common solutions
Extreme weather, pandemics, digital threats and violent extremism are by nature international. This means that we should be international when we are dealing with these and other challenges to societal security.
