The aim of this network of interdisciplinary dialogues is to create an infrastructure for a strategic observatory and a meeting place for integrative discussions to better address the complex challenges facing the future society, the solutions to which require a particularly broad range of skills. Decision-making with far-reaching consequences depends on considerations that affect an increasing number of adjacent areas. There is a great need for action models that provide new ways to develop knowledge-based policies for coordination across disciplines.
These dialogues are conducted in selected media platforms and communication channels that promote a Nordic knowledge exchange and aim to actualize a future potential based on shared values and common history. An increased strategic and critical dialogue on the future through constructive cultural exchange aims to deepen the sense of belonging and improve the conditions for value creation and growth through cooperation in business, politics, academia and culture. The network of dialogue partners includes face-to-face dialogues at a high strategic level (entrepreneurs, ministers, researchers).
Completed knowledge dialogues are published in online arenas for opinion and debate and in topical publications under production. With network-based knowledge integration, a basis for future project and programme organization is developed that generates stability and sustainability with the cultivation of values rooted in a creative dialogue between science and business.
