The Nordic e-Infrastructure Collaboration, NeIC, facilitates the development and operation of advanced IT tools and services in areas of importance to Nordic researchers.

Core values

The core values governing all of NeIC's activities are:

  • NeIC services and development are motivated by providing added value to Nordic research.
  • NeIC shares knowledge and develops competence on advanced e-infrastructure solutions.
  • NeIC works in open and transparent ways to be a trustworthy partner.
  • NeIC strives to improve continuously in what we do.

Strategy

The vision for NeIC is to be a global role model for cross-border distributed and sustainable e-infrastructure collaborations. NeIC activities will center on digital infrastructure for Nordic research excellence.

NeIC Strategy 2020-2025

There are four strategic objectives in the NeIC 2020-2025 strategy:

  • Beneficial collaborations are the principal way that NeIC brings together the needs, interests and resources to create e-infrastructure to support research excellence in the Nordic region.
  • Nordic Influence is the effect that NeIC has in improving and advancing e-infrastructure for researchers and for society.
  • Motivated People are essential in the collaborations and to bring the results into the research domains and society.
  • Effective processes bind NeIC into an organization that is able to realize the benefits and influences that come from the collaborations.
NeIC Priorities 2020-2025

These components of the strategy connect to three ranked priorities that justify the activities and projects that NeIC works on. The ranked priorities are:

  • Deep Nordic interactions and collaborations
  • Society, Ethics and Sustainability for research and societal value and sustainability through e-infrastructure collaborations
  • Wide international interactions, collaborations and new roles.

Nordic Added Value

NeIC has developed a description of Nordic Added Value (NAV) as it relates to NeIC and the stakeholders in NeIC projects and included an explanation for choosing the elements derived from a search of relevant literature on added value, including beyond the Nordic region. The goal was to provide a realistic and realizable framework for evaluating and communicating the added value provided to the Nordic region by NeIC projects.

The major elements of Nordic added value for NeIC activities is:

  • Enable excellence in research
    • Increase the competitiveness of Nordic researchers in EU research activities or other international research cooperation
    • Increase the ability of the region to attract talent and investments, and enhance its appeal as a partner in cooperation
  • Add value to the Nordics beyond national capabilities in e-infrastructure
    • Enhance sustainability and integration by sharing infrastructure or data or harmonising systems for utilising data and other resources in the Nordic region
    • Develop platforms for international cooperation
  • Increase competence and competitiveness in e-infrastructure
    • Help to build critical mass and/or expertise at the Nordic level in important disciplines or research areas
    • Lead to networking among the Nordic countries
  • Act as a global role model for e-infrastructure collaborations
    • Create the profile of a knowledge-based region
    • Create a model for Europe in transnational research co-operation.

Society, Ethics and Sustainability

For the strategic period 2020–2025 the NeIC Board decided to put emphasis on Society, Ethics and Sustainability as a mechanism to define and clarify NeIC’s role especially in the Nordic region. NeIC developed a policy that outlines the concept of Society, Ethics and Sustainability in the NeIC context and initiates a discussion on how to consider and act on this priority.

The policy document contains actions for NeIC to address each of the aspects of society, ethics and sustainability. We have also included criteria regarding society, ethics and sustainability in the NeIC policy for project selection.

The policy document is available here.
