Now is a strategic moment to build capacity in Nordic area studies. Recent years have seen a major growth in public interest in the Nordic countries and their cultures. With the ever closer alignment of Scottish social and political debate towards our northern neighbours, there is now critical demand for a central hub to coordinate research, knowledge exchange and cultural dialogue in this field. Image Areas of activity Research and knowledge exchange Public engagement Academic and cultural diplomacy Priorities Forging a sense of cohesion between academics at the University of Edinburgh, in the rest of Scotland and elsewhere in these islands, who are currently carrying out research with a Nordic dimension, or are interested in doing so. Establishing a proactive hub to coordinate and advance interdisciplinary research on Nordic topics in Scotland’s academic circles, with a view to communicating this research to diverse audiences. Encouraging mobility in both directions between Scotland and the Nordic countries, while providing a base in Edinburgh for visiting scholars, students and cultural practitioners.
