Nordic university leaders to meet in Brussels

More than 80 university leaders from Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Iceland will gather in Brussels on September 28 and 29 for the Nordic University Days. The event aims to provide a coordinated regional perspective on the future of European higher education, research, and innovation policy.

Hosted by Denmark during its presidency of the Nordic Council of Ministers, the meeting serves as a platform to connect academic leadership with European policymakers. The program includes panel discussions with the European Commission and meetings with Danish, Swedish, and Finnish members of the European Parliament. The discussions will focus on how European policy and funding frameworks can support a competitive, knowledge-based Europe while addressing the specific needs of Nordic research and education systems.
