FACILITIES MANAGEMENT RESEARCH IN THE NORDIC COUNTRIES In this book about research on Facilities Management (FM) leading researchers from NORDIC COUNTRIES IN THE RESEARCH MANAGEMENT FACILITIES the Nordic countries present their ideas and fi ndings concerning: PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE • Past: The historical development and current trends in FM research in Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland. • Present: Ongoing FM research within the following six themes: Working Environ- ments, Sustainability, Innovation and Usability, Partnerships, Knowledge Imple- mentation, and Added Value. • Future: Identifi cation of future trends, challenges and research agendas for Nordic PER ANKER JENSEN AND SUSANNE BALSLEV NIELSEN (EDITORS) FM. The book is a result of a Nordic FM Conference arranged by the Centre for Facilities Management – Realdania Research (CFM) on 22-23 August 2011 at the Technical Uni- versity of Denmark. The title of the conference was: “Research for Practice – Vision of Futures”. The conference was arranged in collaboration with NordicFM and DFM – the Danish Facilities Management Association. There were 82 participants from Den- AND FUTURE PRESENT PAST, mark, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland. The book is targeted towards researchers, refl ective practitioners, teachers and stu- dents at advanced levels, including PhD-students, in the fi eld of FM. It is mostly based on papers from the conference with revisions and in a graphical attractive layout. It also includes results of CFM’s FM Futures project. The main purpose of this project was to create input to a joint Nordic FM research agenda. Thus, the overriding purpose of the conference, the FM Futures project and this book is to support increased Nordic collaboration on FM research among researchers and with practitioners.

CFM arranged a Nordic Facilities Management (FM) conference at DTU’s main campus in Lyngby by Copenhagen on 22-23 August 2011. The title of the conference was: “Research for Practice – Vision of Futures”. This book is a result of the conference. The title of the conference indicates firstly, that the objective was to present FM research aimed at practitioners and to facilitate discussions and collaboration between researchers and practitioners. Secondly, the title indicates, that the objective also was to present visions of the future of FM and FM research. According to the conference announcement the purpose was to create an exciting meeting place for people working with FM around CFM’s research. The con- ference program aimed to give insights into research projects, to discuss the results and to ex- plore mutual interests of practitioners and researchers in the next generation of FM research. The ambition was to create a Nordic meeting place, which the participants would remember for the intellectual challenges, its practical relevance and as a milestone in the increased alli- ance around FM research for practice in the Nordic countries. The conference was arranged in collaboration with NordicFM and DFM – the Danish Facilities Management Association. There were 82 participants in the conference from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland. The book is mostly based on the papers from the conference with necessary corrections and in a graphical elaborated layout. It also includes introductions to each theme, summaries of discussions from paper sessions and workshops during the conference, and results of CFM’s FM Futures project. The main purpose of this project was to create input to a joint Nordic FM re- search agenda. Thus, the overriding purpose of the conference, the FM Futures project and this book is to support increased Nordic collaboration on FM research among researchers and with practitioners. We are excited to see in the coming years how well we will succeed with this. We would like to thank all of you who participated in and contributed to the conference, to the FM Futures project and the production of this book.
