NordForsk announces funding for two to four Nordic knowledge-sharing and capacity-building networks for researchers working with research relevant to Indigenous peoples and/or Indigenous research.
If the Nordic region is to be the most integrated region in the world by 2030, the conventions on taxes, labour market, and social rights should match today's more complicated work and family life, writes Johan Strang.
There is a strong belief in cooperation on research infrastructure in the Nordic countries. Furthermore, NordForsk and NORDHORCS play a key role in supporting joint Nordic research initiatives of high scientific quality and with a strong Nordic added value.
NordForsk will open a call for proposals for Nordic capacity-building and knowledge-sharing networks for researchers working with research relevant to Indigenous peoples. The plan is to open the call in March 2024.
Vikings are an integral part of Nordic cultural heritage. Commonly portrayed as proud and free warriors. A new research project aims to add nuance to this depiction.
What is "Nordic added value", and how is this concept understood and utilised by stakeholders in Nordic co-operation? This is the subject of a study conducted by researchers at the University of Helsinki.
Climate change is making the Nordic Region warmer, and we’re experiencing more intense periods of drought and more extreme rainfall. This not only changes the conditions for agriculture, with reduced quality and new plant diseases, but also provides opportunities for growing new plant species, as researchers behind the Nordic university network point out.
Six consortia with a focus on strengthening university collaboration are expected to contribute to enhancing the competitiveness of the Nordic region and facilitating the development of excellent Nordic research environments.
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.
