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 August 2025, at a time when 117 of 125 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.

Nordic Added Value in Inter-ministerial Nordic Co-operation
In this report, researchers present six recommendations to optimise the use of the concept across Nordic institutions.
Children with cancer can receive treatment across the Nordic region
Cancer in children is very rare, but it is still the disease that causes the most deaths in children older than one year. A Nordic research network is ensuring that children with cancer can access personalised treatment in neighbouring countries.
Science-based solutions for sustainable fruit and berry farming
A research project tackles the challenge of balancing good crop yield and sustainable agriculture in the Nordic and Baltic countries. The project has developed innovative technologies with promising results.
Pandemic preparedness: Nordic models can predict the spread of infection
Pandemics arise suddenly and require immediate action from decision-makers. A Nordic research network develops models that can estimate how the infection will spread, thereby supporting rapid response during a future pandemic.
