Research area

The Nordic Committee on Bioethics was founded in 1989 to promote Nordic cooperation and exchange of information between scientists, parliamentarians, opinion leaders and public officials in the area of bioethics.

The overall goal of the Nordic initiative on Health and Welfare is to improve health in the Nordic countries by finding solutions to societal and public health challenges through high-quality research.

The Nordic Societal Security initiative is a multidisciplinary research area designed to generate new knowledge about what is required to ensure the safety and security of the Nordic countries' inhabitants.

The aim of the NordForsk Initiative for Interdisciplinary Research is to promote excellent bottom-up research that combines and integrate skills from multiple disciplines.

The Nordic e-Infrastructure Collaboration (NeIC) facilitates the development of advanced IT tools and services in areas of importance to Nordic researchers.

The Nordic research community may have a front row seat when the European Spallation Source (ESS) becomes operational in 2023. But Nordic researchers have to be well prepared in scientific terms if they are to take full advantage of the unique opportunities offered by this nearly DKK 20 billion research infrastructure in Lund. Therefore, NordForsk has launched a Nordic initiative for neutron research, with an emphasis on building new competencies.

The Nordic countries have teamed up with Canada and the USA to fund research on the sustainable development of the Arctic.
