Today, Wednesday, Vattenfall and SOC presented the eight Olympic athletes and 33 promising talents who will be receiving sponsorship over the next few years. This is a unique partnership focusing on long- term commitment. “Our partnership unites the National Olympic Committees in all our core markets – Sweden, Germany and the Netherlands. Its starting-point is local collaboration in our core markets and it opens the way to a European platform,” says Elisabeth Ström, Head of Communications at Vattenfall. Vattenfall’s and SOC’s partnership includes Team Vattenfall which consists of eight athletes in winter and summer sports, and Olympic Talent Support Vattenfall, which supports 33 promising talents on their way to Olympic Games and World Cup medals. Thanks to Vattenfall’s sponsorship, young promising athletes are given the opportunity to devote themselves fully to their sport and develop into future Olympians.

  • Nordic Cooperation on Civil Security: the ‘Haga’ Process 2009-2014
    This study is the result of the fi rst detailed research project to 2009-2014 process The ‘Haga’ Security: onCivil Cooperation Nordic examine the progress of the ‘Haga’ non-military security coope- ration between the fi ve Nordic states since 2009. It reviews the history of Nordic cross-border cooperation on civil emergency preparedness and management, and discusses why Nordic Ministers chose to raise this work to high political level with a meeting at Haga (near Stockholm) in 2009. Since then, regular meetings at Ministerial and working levels have looked at a whole range of shared Nordic challenges, from search and rescue, to informing the public and the role of volunteers. They have sought cost-effective solutions for pooling Nordic resources and making their territories a truly ‘frontier-free’ area in this context. But what has actually been achieved? Based on extensive practitioner interviews, the two authors of this report stress the practical and political timeliness of ‘Haga’ cooperation, but also question whether it has yet become comprehensive and far-reaching enough to overcome the real obstacles existing even between close Nordic neighbours. They also assess the inter-relationship of Haga with EU efforts, Nordic-Baltic and Baltic regional relation- ships, and Arctic security-related cooperation in the relevant fi elds. This report is a joint publication by the Swedish Defence Research Agency (FOI) and Centre for Small State Studies (CSSS) at the University of Iceland.
