Central to NFF’s mission is to stimulate Nordic management research and idea exchange
Central to NFF’s mission is to stimulate Nordic management research and idea exchange. Key means include the biannual NFF conference, which circulates among the Nordic countries; Standing Tracks, which create links and sustain interest in specific fields of Nordic management research between the conferences; and NFF’s sponsorship of arranging doctoral courses, which enables PhD students and faculty to come together in pan-Nordic doctoral courses and workshops. NFF also supports young researchers’ visits to other Nordic countries through the Postdoc Mobility Grants and awards a book prize every other year.
