The main purpose of the call is to capitalise on the research results and knowledge that has been built during the first years of Vision 2030, to support the development of the new collaborative initiative for the years 2025-2030.
Living on 18 small islands in the North Atlantic, the Faroese people are used to wild weather. But what should they be doing to prepare for the increasingly extreme storms caused by climate change? Researchers warn that the climate debate often overlooks the Nordic Region’s smaller communities.
The Nordic countries are on a par with the rest of Europe when it comes to health inequality. If we’re to reverse the trend, we need to include as many people as possible in the labour market and give them the health care they need, researchers claim.
Is it time for tailor-made early childhood and compulsory education? Yes, argues Dutch researcher Barbara Piškur. Teachers will feel less stress, school children will be able to participate better and feel more at home at school. Does this sound too good to be true? Well, scientific results say otherwise.
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.
The Nordics are renowned for being proactive in combatting extremism, and this is mainly due to the co-operation between schools, social services and the police. However, in Sweden they believe that exchange of information can undermine trust.
