Nordic research gets new window to the world

The website ScienceNordic was launched in November.

A new web site presenting news on research in the Nordic countries has recently been launched.

Location

ScienceNordic is an English language news site for scientific news from the Nordic countries Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland.

The website is independent and the purpose is to take the results of the scientists and disseminate it in a news orientated journalistic manner. The audience is targeted toward the research community across the globe: researchers, students, the business sector, innovation clusters, international institutions and media – along with anybody else whose heart and mind is moved by science.

The objectives of ScienceNordic are to give research from the nordic countries a place on the world map, to be a communication channel between researchers in different countries and to promote the high quality of research from the Nordic countries.

The initiative for the site comes from Denmark and Norway where the scientific news portals, Videnskab.dk and Forskning.no have joined forces and together with partners from Sweden, Finland and Iceland have developed the website with the financial support from NordForsk, an organisation under the Nordic Council of Ministers.
