Klimaendringene gjør Norden varmere, og vi får flere intensive tørkeperioder og ekstreme nedbørsmengder. Dette endrer betingelsene for landbruket, med redusert kvalitet og nye plantesykdommer, men også muligheter for dyrking av nye plantearter, understreker forsker bak nordisk universitetsnettverk.
Seks konsortier med fokus på at styrke universitetssamarbejdet skal bidrage til at styrke Nordens konkurrenceevne og facilitere udviklingen af fremragende, nordiske forskningsmiljøer.
The proposed university cooperation initiative, Nordic University Cooperation on Edge Intelligence (NUEI), focuses on edge intelligence, a Nordic area of growth and a key technology enabler in many industrial domains and sustainability. The current Nordic Edge intelligence research efforts are fragmented and are supported by local national instruments, lacking the necessary mass to become an international area of excellence.
The Nordic Centre for Comparative and International Family Law (NorFam) will be the Nordic hub for collaborative research between scholars from Nordic countries in the fields of family and succession law, and between legal scholars and family-related research in other academic fields such as sociology, psychology, theology, medicine, gender studies etc.
The NordicPharmaTrain is consolidating world-leading research and education in the Nordics within drug delivery, contemporary pharmaceutical manufacturing and clinical implementation with focus on translation and innovation in pharmaceutical research.
The Nordic countries lie at the boundary between two structurally different biomes: boreal forests, dominated by trees, and the tundra, dominated by low-lying vegetation. This biome boundary is currently shifting because of ongoing climate warming and changes in land use.
Mental disorders are complex traits arising from both inherited and environmental contributions, particularly during early life phases. Understanding how interplay between nature and nurture during these sensitive early phases creates individual differences in human mental traits is a fundamental question spanning the social and life sciences.
Molecular medicine is the science of how humans function at the most basic level of genes, proteins and cells. It aims to understand and manipulate molecular processes to diagnose and cure diseases. Molecular medicine improves diagnosis, discovers effective individualized treatments for cancer and immune disorders, and creates vaccines against lethal infections.
CO2-utslipp er den største årsaken til menneskeskapte klimaendringer. Ifølge nordiske forskerne er det ikke nok å redusere utslippene for å minimere effektene. Vi må også prioritere utviklingen av nye teknologier for fangst og utnyttelse av karbon.
