Hvad gemmer sig bag begreber som flyskam, MeToo og dugnad i en nordisk sammenhæng? The New Nordic Lexicon, som bliver skrevet af forskere primært fra Norden, vil besvare disse og andre vigtige spørgsmål om de nordiske samfunds historie og kultur.
Fem prosjekter som skal fremme nordisk samarbeid om internasjonale samarbeidsaktiviteter i kliniske studier har fått støtte fra Nordic Trial Alliance på NordForsk.
Sekretariatet för Nordiska samarbetsnämnden för humanistisk och samhällsvetenskaplig forskning (NOS-HS) överförs permanent till NordForsk från och med den 1 januari 2022.
The success of the rechargeable Li-ion battery is apparent to everyone, as most people in the Western world own at least one device powered by this technology. Now, this battery type is on the verge of becoming even more relevant with the transition from vehicles using a combustion engine to the more environmentally friendly battery-driven vehicles.
The proposed project deals with high-resolution measurements of the lifetime of magnetic excitations in simple (quantum) magnets and of lattice vibrations (phonons) in the nominally well-understood simple-metal superconductors. The results will be compared with model calculations, which are density functional theory (DFT) calculations for phonons, and concepts beyond linear spin wave theory for quantum magnets. The results will be essential for the understanding of basic notions in quantum effects in magnetism, as well as in the foundations of superconductivity in simple metals.
The Nordic Neutron Scattering Program (NNSP) is an initiative launched by NordForsk on preparing the Nordic scientific communities for using the European Spallation Source (ESS), which is under construction in Lund (S). The budget of NNSP is of the order 60 million NOK, of which most will go to employ and train Ph.D. student in cross-national projects within scientific fields and methods relevant in the context of ESS.
The Committee of Nordic ART and Safety (CoNARTaS) was established five year ago and have the responsibility for the Nordic ART and Safety database including all children born after assisted reproductive technology (ART) in Finland, Norway, Sweden and Denmark since 1982.
