The Nordic Thinktank for Welfare Technology is run by the Nordic Center for Welfare and Social Issues, an institution under the Nordic Council of Ministers. The Thinktank consists of ten carefully selected experts, two from each of the five Nordic countries. The selected experts are chosen based on their professional knowledge and experience and are all among the leading experts in their country. To maintain an independent thinktank, no experts are connected to the central administration in their home country.
The Thinktank chooses and processes one difficult question per year within the area of welfare technology. For 2014 it was:
“What makes implementation of welfare technology so difficult?”
