Spring comes with new courses and continued cooperation

Dear NIVA friends,

Spring has finally arrived in the Nordics, and for NIVA, this means exciting times as we decide on the course selection for next year. This week we also celebrate the Nordic Day, a perfect occasion to reflect on the importance of Nordic collaboration.

Last week, we held our annual board meeting in Helsinki, bringing together representatives from across the Nordic countries. It was a valuable opportunity to exchange ideas and strengthen our commitment to working together for a safer and healthier working life throughout the region.

One of the key outcomes of the meeting was the selection of courses for 2026. We are pleased to announce that a wide range of high-quality courses has been approved, reflecting our dedication to supporting safe and sustainable workplaces across the Nordics.

Cooperation remains at the heart of everything we do. By working together we can make a greater impact and continue to promote health and safety at work. To everyone who has proposed a course, I will be in contact with you in April. We at NIVA look forward to continuing to work with our valuable network.

Wishing you all a great spring and a happy Nordic Day!

Henrik and the NIVA-team
