Part 3: Future collaboration

The Nordic Centre has identified four main thematic areas and sub-themes/topics for Nordic Chinese research collaboration: 1. Sino-Nordic perspectives - Sino-Nordic interaction: past, present, and future - Rights, principles and strategies in a challenging world - Comparative Sino-Nordic studies - Heritage studies 2. Sustainable development - Implementation of Agenda 2030 - Global and sustainable cities - Arctic dimensions - Air pollution and environmental toxins - Sustainability in education - Biodiversity - Climate change 3. Digitalization and technology - Digital infrastructure - Intra-Nordic perspectives on digital cooperation - Consequences of digitalization - Post-corona cooperation - Young digital lives in China and the Nordics 4. Health and welfare - Ageing, technology and care - Active living - Social security systems - Public health - Food culture, nutrition and security

Which one(s) of the thematic areas would you consider most relevant for your researchers (and why)?

In which of these themes and/or sub-themes is your institution particularly strong?

Can you name a few researchers/research groups/units at your institution that your institution would like to highlight connected to these themes/sub-themes? (Name, link to website, contact details)

Do you have researchers within these fields that are actively doing research on China or in collaboration with Chinese partners and that the NC could interview (to be published in our newsletter and/or website)?

Would you like to join and suggest a theme and title for a seminar as part of the planned ”Sino-Nordic Talks”? In the seminar series, we aim to gather Nordic and Chinese researchers, policy makers and companies for panel discussion connected to the prioritized thematic areas.

Are there other specific themes you would see particularly relevant for Sino-Nordic research collaboration from the perspective of your institution?

Any other issues (feedback, suggestions)?
