This evaluation investigates how the Nordplus Programme meets the different target groups’ needs in the Nordic-Baltic region, spurs focus using Nordplus Highlights, strengthens network creation and innovation within education as well as digital competencies and knowledge of the Nordic languages.

It also investigates how Nordplus may be influenced going forward in light of changes to other, related programmes (esp. Erasmus+ and the Nordic Master Programme) and in case of budget reductions.

Nordplus applicants and project coordinators report high satisfaction with and positive results from the programme, with a few areas identified for improvement. The report identifies perspectives and potential strategies to be considered when planning for the programme’s future, for example by emphasizing aspects unique to Nordplus or relating to the Nordic Council of Ministers’ Vision 2030.
