The Nordic countries combined have allocated more than NOK 3 billion for COVID-19 research. The bulk of funding has targeted medical research, and Sweden is by far the largest funder.
This report maps initiatives by research funding organisations in the Nordic countries, government agencies as well as private foundations, to further research related to COVID-19.
What can we learn about COVID-19 by studying the 18th-century smallpox epidemics and other past pandemics? A new Nordic research project will make use of Nordic health data to study pandemics from a historical perspective to better prepare the Nordic region for future pandemics.
The Nordic countries are each dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic in their own ways, but each government enjoys a great deal of public trust in its decisions. Nevertheless, the pandemic gives rise to a number of ethical issues
Drawing on unique access to large datasets of Nordic asylum case law from Denmark, Sweden and Norway, and an interdisciplinary team spanning law, computer science and medicine, NoRDASiL will produce a novel approach to answer two questions: What factors shape the production of national asylum decisions? and Why do asylum outcomes across similar cases differ so much from one another?
This project will produce cutting edge research publishable in the most prestigious academic journals and produce new and important knowledge about segregation and integration in Nordic countries.
