These short one-hour workshop sessions are intended to provide networking opportunities for researchers across the University of Edinburgh who are currently working on Nordic-related topics, or who might be interested in working on such topics in the future. Through round-table discussion of current interests and work in a series of thematic strands, it is hoped to generate discussion of the potential role and scope of a future Centre for Nordic Research based at the University, pooling interdisciplinary expertise and facilitating impact for studies relating to this area of emerging strategic importance. More details will be available in early December 2014.
