It’s both research, policy, and practical policy projects – a lot of knowledge concentrated into a short amount of time.”, Lisa Lundgren, Secretary General, Nordkalottrådet
“In many respects, our Nordic societies are very similar. We can learn from each other’s experiences – both the successes and the challenges. Events like the Nordregio Forum offer an excellent opportunity for such exchanges.”, Sakari Puisto, Minister of Economic Affairs, Finland
