The co-operation programme of the Nordic Council of Ministers for Education and Research (MR-U) points the way for the ministers’ co-operation on education and research, languages and IT from 2015. The programme is designed to focus and target the work, which stems from the political agendas in the countries and the Faroe Islands, Greenland and the Åland Islands. The programme describes the themes to which the ministers wish to devote particular attention and thus it does not contain an exhaustive overview of all the priorities of MR-U.
