A Summer Note from NIVA

Dear NIVA friends,

Summer is just around the corner, and before the holidays begin, we at NIVA would like to remind you about our upcoming courses and events for autumn 2025.

After the summer break, we will offer a wide range of courses, webinars, and conferences focusing on vital topics within occupational health and safety. As always, our events will take place across the Nordic region, with a special focus on Helsinki this year, as Finland holds the Presidency of the Nordic Council of Ministers.

We encourage you to explore our upcoming courses and continue advancing knowledge and collaboration within your field. But before diving into the busy autumn ahead, we also want to remind you to take time to rest, recharge, and enjoy the holidays.

Wishing you all a wonderful summer!

Henrik and the NIVA-team
