While the success of the populist radical right has been extensively documented in Europe and also the Nordic-Baltic region, we have little knowledge about how this is affecting the local immigrant and immigrant-origin populations.
Current societal changes put pressure on the values and political ideals underlying the Nordic democratic educational project and its practical realisation. JustED focuses on the crucial question: How do systems, cultures and actors in education facilitate and constrain justice in the context of globalising Nordic welfare states?
"Migrants and solidarities: Negotiating deservingness in welfare micropublics (Solidarities)" breaks new ground by exploring how solidarities are imagined and practiced in negotiations of migrant deservingness. It explores the fundamental question of who is, and who is not, considered deserving of welfare services, how deservingness is negotiated and with what implications, in a context of increasing diversity driven by migration, welfare restructuring, and austerity
Open Science is about sharing data, tools and services across disciplines, nations and regions. The Nordic-Baltic project EOSC Nordic has quickly become a role model for how this work can be taken forward at the European level.
The ambition of the proposed NORDICORE Centre of Excellence is to create knowledge that will further advance gender balance and diversity in research and innovation. The future of the Nordic knowledge economy depends on our ability to attract the most highly qualified men and women to excel in the field of research and research based innovation. At a time where scientific excellence and international competition is increasing in significance and our welfare states are under ever greater pressure, it is crucial to produce solid knowledge on which to base further policies and practices in the field.
Personalised medicine, tailoring the right therapeutic strategy to the right person at the right time, is more relevant than ever before. New knowledge and innovation will make it possible to provide the patient with more precisely targeted diagnostics and treatment. Innovation Fund Denmark, the Research Council of Norway, the Swedish Governmental Agency for Innovation Systems (Vinnova), the Icelandic Centre for Research (RANNÍS), Innovaatiorahoituskeskus Business Finland, and NordForsk are providing more than NOK 165 million in funding for seven Nordic projects that will target wider implementation of personalised medicine in the Nordic health care sector.
