The Nordic Welfare Centre is an institution within the Nordic Council of Ministers. Our core mission is to serve as a platform for co-operation between the Nordic countries in the area of social affairs and public health.  Our primary target groups for services and deliveries are employees in ministries and national authorities in the Nordic countries.

We create meeting places, gather expertise, build networks, communicate knowledge and experience through good practice examples and provide recommendations to decision-makers – while acting as a bridge between research and practice. Our results are used to inform policy decisions at the national, regional and local level in Denmark, Finland, the Faroe Islands, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Åland.

In Annual Report 2025, you will find some highlights from our work. A full report is available in Scandinavian languages (pdf).
