It’s that time of year again: we are publishing our course selection for 2026. Next year’s course selection brings a mix of returning favorites and new additions, all shaped to meet today’s demands in the workplace.
What to expect?
In 2026, you will find both our classic NIVA courses and new, current topics. Among the returning highlights are Workers in the Cold and Occupational Skin Diseases. At the same time, we are expanding into new areas with courses on Preparedness, Military Safety, AI and Occupational Health within the Seafood Industry.
Alongside these, we will continue to offer flexible online opportunities such as webinars and seminars to ensure broader accessibility.
Our 2026 course selection reflects NIVA’s commitment to a sustainable, inclusive, and healthier working life across the Nordic region and beyond. We hope you’ll discover courses that both inspire and support you in your work!
Warm wishes, Henrik and the NIVA-team
