Denmark Leading Nordic Research Cooperation
The Danish Presidency of the Nordic Council of Ministers in 2010 will focus on Nordic research cooperation as a model for closer European cooperation in the area of research.
The Nordic countries must be better at profiling themselves as a common research and education region. In this way, Nordic values and strengths will have a stronger position and be more visible to the surrounding world. This should be accomplished via more coordination and increased cooperation across national borders.
Establishment of the new ESS research facility at Lund, Sweden, is a good example of how the Nordic countries can strengthen their visibility and create a common research excellence area.

How can Nordic strengths within higher education and research be made visible and communicated on a global scale?
This is a question that Denmark wants to bring into focus while holding the presidency of the Nordic Council of Ministers in 2010. That is why the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation in cooperation with the Ministry of Education hosted a conference Thursday the 15th of April 2010 in Copenhagen.
