We are surrounded by sounds and music. The Nordic Sound and Music Computing Network, a NordForsk funded university hub, is conducting research on what effect sound and music have on us, and how they can improve commercial and public services.
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.
Around 40 percent of the project leaders who have sent applications are female, and around 60 percent are men. All Nordic countries including the Åland Islands, Greenland and the Faroe Islands are represented in the pile of applications.
