Nordic Public Policy Network
About us
The Nordic Public Policy Network (NPPN) aims to foster coordination between Nordic tax research centers. Its purpose is to explore how tax policies and administrations can contribute to fair economic and social policies, support climate transitions, and address other challenges. How can the Nordic welfare model evolve to ensure resilience and sustainability in the face of global challenges such as increasing environmental risks and socio-political instability? The NPPN seeks answers through the exchange of views and knowledge.
The NPPN was initiated by Skatteforsk- Center for Tax Research in the Norwegian University of Life Sciences and was established in 2025 together with other key Nordic academic institutions through funding from a Nordforsk grant.
