The 'Nordic Summer University' (NSU) is a research network with a long tradition in the Nordic intellectual arena. For more than 50 years NSU has been known to develop academic and intellectual debates that has involved several leading intellectuals, politicians, and scholars of the Nordic countries (e.g. Niels Bohr, Mauno Koivisto and Horace Engdahl). In its statutes, NSU commits itself to introducing foreign ideas and influences that not yet have a foothold in the established universities. It is known today as a successful greenhouse for cultivating young academic talents.
The activity is organized in a maximum of ten study circles. With meetings twice a year, these interdisciplinary groups develop novel approaches and challenging views on a wide range of topics, primarily within the humanistic and the social sciences. During the main summer event, all circles join for a week of intense academic discussion. A unique thing about this session is that children are welcome, and taken good care of while parents work during the daytime. NSU has a publishing house, NSU Press, with distribution secured through Århus University Press. The organization is sponsored by the Nordic Council of Ministers and can be accessed at The Nordic Summer University's website.
