Remote work and hybrid workplaces became common during the pandemic. NordForsk has now awarded funding for five projects that will investigate how these and other developments affect future working life.
Project aiming to generate knowledge and solutions for a sustainable and inclusive future working life for ageing population in the countries of the Nordic-Baltic region.
Sexual harassment is a severe workplace issue that threatens employees’ health and wellbeing. This project will increase theoretical and empirical knowledge on sexual harassment through academic and practitioner-based efforts with working life partners, specifically within the police in Norway, Sweden and Iceland.
Project aiming to increase understanding of the opportunities and challenges employees and leaders encounter in remote and flexible work settings to secure work-related health and work performance.
Project aiming at exploring how local labour markets in the Nordic Region face the opportunities and challenges related to the global megatrends in general, and the green transition in particular.
Project owners from Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden have submitted a total of 63 applications to NordForsk in this latest call for proposals. The gender split in the project owners is roughly two-thirds men to one-third women.
The purpose of the call is to give researchers at an early stage in their careers (years two to seven) the opportunity to build Nordic networks and promote Nordic added value in research.
