During spring 2021, following an accelerated collaboration process initiated and facilitated by NordForsk, more than 160 Nordic leaders participated and contributed at webinars and online workshops. Among the attendees were top-level leaders from all Nordic countries and from across all sectors and parts of the research, education and innovation systems. In this report – which takes the form of an inspiration catalogue – we share the most important and valuable content and points of inspiration formulated and collected during this process.
