In a new report, researchers present six recommendations to optimise the use of the concept of ‘Nordic added value’ across Nordic institutions. The recommendations focus on creating greater cohesion, promoting long-term value and strengthening Nordic identity.
Nordic co-operation was formalised through the Nordic Council in 1952. However, the idea of a shared Nordic culture and identity has deep roots, particularly in the so-called Scandinavianism, which had its heyday in the eighteen hundreds.
NordForsk announces funding for preparatory projects with the purpose of forming multisectoral and transdisciplinary Nordic research consortia to participate in successful proposals for EU calls on antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
The past is used politically. Both as an ideal and a scare tactic. A new Nordic research project will examine how the past is utilised in current political campaigns.
The landscapes of the Nordic countries are undergoing significant change due to both humans and climate change. This has implications for each of us living in the Nordic region, says an Icelandic researcher.
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.
