We conduct solution-oriented and applied research, addressing current issues from both a research perspective and the viewpoint of policymakers and practitioners. Operating at the international, national, regional and local levels, Nordregio’s research covers a wide geographic scope, with an emphasis on the Nordic and Baltic Sea Regions, Europe and the Arctic. The Nordic co-operation Nordic co-operation is one of the world’s most extensive forms of regional collaboration, involving Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, and the Faroe Islands, Greenland, and Åland. Nordic co-operation has firm traditions in politics, the economy, and culture. It plays an important role in European and international collaboration, and aims at creating a strong Nordic community in a strong Europe. Nordic co-operation seeks to safeguard Nordic and regional interests and principles in the global community. Common Nordic values help the region solidify its position as one of the world’s most innovative and competitive. The Nordic Council of Ministers is a forum of co-operation between the Nordic governments. The Nordic Council of Ministers implements Nordic co-operation. The prime ministers have the overall responsibility. Its activities are co-ordinated by the Nordic ministers for co-operation, the Nordic Committee for co-operation and portfolio ministers. Founded in 1971. The Nordic Council is a forum for co-operation between the Nordic parliaments and governments. The Council consists of 87 parliamentarians from the Nordic countries. The Nordic Council takes policy initiative s and monitors Nordic co-operation. Founded in 1952.

  • I Fantasised About Killing My Mother When I Was Twelve. I Would Push Her Down Onto the Tracks As the Train Pulled Into the Station in Stavanger
    1 I fantasised about killing my mother when I was twelve. I would push her down onto the tracks as the train pulled into the station in Stavanger. Just a little shove. She would fall down, end up under the wheels, and then I would finally get away. Thirty years later, I’m sat at her funeral wondering what my life would have been like had I actually pushed her. If I’d had siblings, or if mother had had a boyfriend when she died, I wouldn’t even have been here. So many boyfriends over the last few years, yet she couldn’t have one right when I needed it most. I spot my father and his wife five rows behind me. They don’t have to be here, but it’s nice that they came. I’m not without feelings – I do appreciate it. I wonder how she managed to get him to come. I’m not going to talk to him. I’m an adult. I’ve exchanged one family for another. My own. The chapel is bright, the sun is shining in through large panes of glass in the walls. Outside, the oak trees are calm in the late afternoon. Not one gust of wind for many days, not a drop of rain. The soil back home is bone dry. I have to remember to water the garden, maybe put some fertiliser around the redcurrant bushes. And if the dry weather continues, I have to paint the two walls I didn’t manage last year, preferably before Constitution Day, because when May is over the air will get more humid, the woodwork never completely dry.

  • Open Call Kolding Den 14
    Open Call Kolding den 14. november 2017 Art projects for the Triangle Festival 2019 From 23 august to 1 September 2019 For the last couple of years, art has played a bigger and bigger role in the Triangle Festival. We would like to do even more to visualize the art experiences in our festival and make them more accessible to our audience. Therefore, we have chosen to show art in seven Art Zones. Each Art Zone has its own aesthetics and history - places where people meet, hang out or pass by. The seven art zones have different hosts, and they will each get different expressions that appeal to different people. We are looking for art projects that work site-specific and who will explore the festival theme ’MOVE’. We wish that some of the projects involve the audience, but it is not a requirement for all projects. The Seven Art Zones The Manor House Sønderskov offers a special aesthetic experience with historical depth. The beautiful frames invite art projects that awaken curiosity. The Town Square ’Gravene’ The square is located in the part of Haderslev, which houses the oldest central districts near Haderslev Cathedral. The place is full of history and invites to art projects that experiment with the possibilities of the place. The Library Park The place is a recreational city oasis for the citizens. It has been created each year since 2016 in front of Kolding Library for a few weeks in late summer. Invites projects that surprise and experiment with creating new rooms in the city. The Mental Hospital (Teglgårdsparken) The former mental hospital in the city of Middelfart invites to a cultural day focused on psychiatry in fascinating historical frameworks.

  • Resilient Vejle: a Case Study
    Sustainable Development and Planning X 225 RESILIENT VEJLE: A CASE STUDY WALTER UNTERRAINER Aarhus School of Architecture, Denmark ABSTRACT The city of Vejle in Denmark with 60.000 inhabitants is the smallest and also the only Nordic city which became part of the “100 Resilient Cities Network”, pioneered globally by the Rockefeller Foundation. Its insignificant size in comparison to other cities and metropolises like Paris, Milan, Lagos, Bangkok, Buenos Aires, Boston or Mexico City determines Vejle as a small scale laboratory for testing resilient strategies: Decision making processes and implementation of new policies as well as unavoidable spatial transformation can go faster and are stronger and more directly connected to citizen involvement compared to Vejle’s much bigger fellow cities. Vejle is particularly vulnerable at risk of flooding which happens repeatedly and according to predictions, large parts of the city might be under water by 2100. At the periphery of the city centre, a large and 60 years old rubbish dump is an unpredictable toxic threat as well as a potential quality space for inhabiting many new citizen, potentially taking pressure from a scarce housing market. Furthermore, the city has exemplary social policies in relation to immigrants or homeless, which makes it a magnet for the latter. The author is member of an advisory board for “Resilient Vejle”, where he represents Aarhus School of Architecture since 2015. The paper is a case study which documents and illustrates how evidence based student projects with integration of citizen activation can have an impact in resilient thinking. The range of outcomes is very wide: from speculative projects, transformative architectural proposals to students building in 1:1, using material and components of a demolished building for a “pavilion for resilience”.

Kommunestyret godkjenner prosjektbasert samarbeid som modell for videre regionalt næringssamarbeid. 2. Kommunedirektøren bes om å utarbeide en forpliktende samarbeidsavtale om regional næringsutvikling (privatrettslig samarbeidsavtale) som regulerer samarbeidet. Avtalen legges fram for kommunestyret til endelig godkjenning. 3. Randaberg kommune inviteres inn i storbysamarbeidet som den fjerde parten i samarbeidsavtalen. 4. Kommunedirektøren bes om å innarbeide midler til regionalt næringssamarbeid i kommende handlings- og økonomiplan slik det fremgår av denne saken. 5. Kommunestyret godkjenner at ny organisering trer i kraft fra 1.1.2021. Samtidig ber kommunestyret om at styret i Greater Stavanger AS innkaller til ekstraordinær generalforsamling hvor sak om avvikling av selskapet behandles. 6. Saken sendes på høring til partnerkommunene i Greater Stavanger før sluttbehandling i kommunestyrene i Stavanger, Sandnes og Sola finner sted. Høringsfristen settes til 30.09.2020. Sammendrag Kommunestyrene i Stavanger, Sandnes og Sola (eierkommunene) sa i desember 2019 opp partnerskapsavtalen med Greater Stavanger AS, med sikte på endelig avvikling innen utgangen av 2021. Eierkommunene har vedtatt et felles mandat for utforming av ny organisering av regionalt næringssamarbeid. Ny organisering skal ha fokus på storbyregionen, ta utgangspunkt i regionens komparative fortrinn og være basert på kommunenes og næringslivets behov. Forslag til ny organisering er basert på vurdering av ulike modeller og erfaringer fra andre byer og regioner, nyere forskning, samt innspill fra medvirkningsprosesser med deltakelse fra partnerkommunene i GS, næringsliv, akademia og andre relevante aktører.

  • Preikestolen 604 M Lysebotn Kjeragbolten
    Samstag, 14. Mai 2016 Der Lysefjord ist ein Fjord Lysebotn östlich von Stavanger in der Provinz Rogaland im Süden von Norwegen. Preikestolen 604 m Die Länge des Kjeragbolten Lysefjords beträgt etwa 40 Kilometer, er ist an der tiefsten Stelle bis zu 500 Meter tief. Seinen Namen, „heller Fjord“, verdankt er Karte: Google Map den blankgescheuerten, felsigen Wänden. Es ist ist ein sehr steiler Fjord. 604 m über dem Fjord liegt die Felsplattform Preikestolen oder zu deutsch "Predigerstuhl". Sie ist auf einem Wander- "weg" oder besser Steintreppe à la Bachbett in einem Aufstieg von etwa 2 h erreichbar und fällt dann senkrecht die 600 m in den Fjord ab. Ganz Mutige setzen sich an den Rand des Plateau, picknicken und lassen die Beine über den Abgrund baumeln. Unser Abenteuer «Preikestolen» ist in «Reise 2014 Bericht Nr 10 Seite ab Seite 6» beschrieben. Bild: Ferien 2014 Etwa 5 Kilometer vor Ende des Lysefjords in Ryfylke steht die höchste Felswand, die Kjerag. Die Felswand hat eine Höhe von 1.084 Metern. Hier ist auch der Kjeragkeil zu sehen, ein großer Stein, der zwischen zwei Felswänden eingeklemmt ist und für mutige Zeitgenossen auch begehbar ist. Die Felswand ist ein guter Startpunkt für das Base-Jumping. Bild: Wikipdia Schon bei der Einfahrt in den Fjord zeigt sich die Steilheit und Wildheit des Fjord. In Lysbotn werden die Gäste für eine Inland – Tour nach Stavanger ausgela – den wir geniessen die Rückfahrt durch den Fjord. und ich habe, trotz schwieriger Sicht, den Kjeragkeil von unten gefunden. gespannt bin ich auch, den Preikestolen vom Fjord her zu sehen und siehe da, auch er war mir gut gesinnt und hat sich von seiner besten Seite gezeigt.
