Nordregio arrangerar ett digitalt seminarium den 16 juni kl 13-14.30: Higher education in Nordic rural areas and small towns: success factors and effective approaches.
While peripheral education plays a vital role in local and regional development, it also faces significant challenges. Demographic shifts, youth outmigration, limited resources, and the small scale of operations create ongoing pressures for institutions operating in these contexts. In addition, evolving demands for new skills and more flexible study options present both opportunities and further complexities for these educational providers.
In this webinar, we will explore how to navigate these challenges and the potential of peripheral education as drivers of regional development. The webinar is aimed at educational providers seeking inspiration from effective approaches that can help institutions thrive, as well as civil servants and public authorities with an interest in education and regional development.
