Nordic Bridge

Empowering Connections: Making Academia-Society Collaboration Accessible

Nordic Bridge will be an online platform where public and private entities can present specific problems or general cases where they seek the insight and expertise of academia.

How will it work?

Different actors can post a well-defined problem or a broader case on the portal, outlining areas where they need academic support.

Students and professors can browse these postings to see if there's a challenge they're equipped to tackle. If something catches their eye, the portal administrators, and other portal partners, will help arrange discussions between the academic side and the problem posters.

Opportunities

The portal will help people from universities, businesses, and local communities work together more easily. It is like a special online place where these groups can know each other and plan actions to solve problems and share ideas.
