This report summarises the feedback provided by researchers involved in the Nordic Health
Data Research Projects on COVID-19, along with the impact data and outcomes reported by
these projects.
How are remote labour markets impacted by demographic shifts, growing technological needs, climate change, and globalisation? A Nordic research project aims to find out how such global megatrends have local consequences.
Researchers have studied how Nordic citizens with a foreign background interact with each other, also when it comes to choosing a life partner. The results show that most people choose someone with the same national background.
Increased out-of-classroom interaction and sharing of tacit knowledge among school staff helps create better environments for migrant students to integrate and feel like they belong at school, shows NordForsk funded project.
The Nordic countries need to strengthen their preparedness for future pandemics. When encountering a new viral or pandemic disease, new knowledge should be derived from cross-sectoral and multidisciplinary research, and possible long-term health consequences need to be considered already in the acute phase.
The spectre of antagonistic threats and hybrid aggression is high on the agenda in the Nordic-Baltic region. In this context, NordForsk will launch a call focusing on funding research contributing to increased knowledge about antagonistic threats and societal security in the Nordic-Baltic region.
