(The Nordic Research Academy for Global Health)
The Nordic countries have been seen as a “winning region” with the Nordic welfare systems as a competitive advantage. Global ambitions imply global responsibility and a natural role could lie in the coordination of support for development. A particularly suited area is research and research training on global health issues. There are several ambitious projects initiated and run by Nordic and national institutions that can benefit from collaboration and coordination. Besides join implementation of projects gives better financial support and increases possibilities for knowledge dissemination.
The Nordic Research Academy for Global Health was provisionally established in February 2007 at a meeting at the Nordic School of Public Health. The Research Academy aims at bringing together Nordic researchers and at facilitating the establishment of new research networks within Global Health. This will be done by supporting a number of Global Health seminars and workshops on selected relevant themes.
Two seminars have already been held:
• Research seminar "Emerging Trends in Sexual and Reproductive Health",
10-12th September 2007
• Research Seminar "Vaccines for Global Health", 26-28th March 2008
