CO2 emissions are the biggest cause of anthropogenic climate change. According to Nordic researchers, reducing emissions is not enough to minimise the effects. We must also prioritise the development of new carbon capture and utilisation technologies.
New types of feed, lower water temperatures, and recirculation in aquaculture facilities are examples of where Nordic research results are contributing to a more sustainable aquaculture industry. “The Nordics are leading the way,” says the chair of the committee.
We define research impact as the results and effects of the research we fund and collaborations we facilitate. Our Impact Report 2023 provides insights into our output and results, as well as aspects of the societal impact and Nordic added value we create.
Overview of results and effects reported by NordForsk funded projects reported in our submission period 2023. The report contains data on publications, policy influence, dissemination activities and other impact indicators.
The Green Transition call focuses on energy efficiency in the food systems, on climate and gender perspectives, and on democratic engagement and citizen-involvement in the green transition.

Fast Track to Vision 2030 is a collection of 33 policy brief articles on everything from health to digitalisation and migration, written by researchers from NordForsk’s research projects.
NordForsk opens a Nordic-Baltic call for proposals for research projects on the Green Transition. Each project can apply for up to NOK 15 million of funding, and we expect to fund nine projects. The plan is to open the call by the end of August.
More than three million farmed salmon die each year in the Faroe Islands. A Nordic research project reveals that heart conditions are among the causes of the high mortality rate.
