Share your ideas for the programme

We are also inviting ideas for the programme.

– We want the forum to address the issues that matter most for the development of the northern Nordics. That is why we encourage our partners and stakeholders to contribute with ideas and expertise, says Ine Hilling, Chair of Platform North.

The organising committee welcomes:

  • Abstracts for presentations and sessions
  • Suggestions for themes and discussion topics
  • Proposals for speakers and case studies

– The strength of Platform North lies in bringing together different perspectives across borders, sectors and organisations. We look forward to receiving your input, says Hilling.

All proposals and ideas can be sent to .

More information about registration and the programme will be published on The Platform North Forum | Statens vegvesen in the coming months. In the meantime, save the date and make sure to secure your hotel room early.
