Goal 5: The Nordic Region must be developed as an integrated region for education and research

The Nordic Region aspires to be the world’s most integrated region by 2030. It must be easy and attractive for Nordic citizens to live, study and work in another Nordic country Nordic qualifications already receive a high degree of mutual recognition, and tens of thousands of pupils, students and teachers participate in exchange activities each year, helping to build an integrated Nordic Region. However, if the Nordic Region is to be attractive and relevant in the future, then this is something that must also be preserved and bolstered. Nordic co-operation must be promoted as a natural arena for the further development of national policies, the furthering of common Nordic solutions and the bolstering of the Nordic Region as a player and a unified voice within the arenas of European and international collaboration.
