Nordic Centers of Excellence
- a platform for international research collaboration:
Example from climate research

on behalf of
Prof. Markku Kulmala and
The CRAICC / CBACCI / BACCI teams
NCoE CRAICC: Cryosphere-Atmosphere Interactions
in Changing Arctic Climate
Air pollution –
climate interactions
(Arneth et al.,
Science, 2009)
Estimated that up to
70% of Arctic
warming since 1976
is due to decreases
in sulphate aerosols
and parallel
increases in
Black Carbon
emissions
(Shindell and
Faluvegi, Nature
Geoscience, 2009)

How to meet the research and innovation needs
– why are we a center of excellence?
•

•
Clear and ambitious vision
Empirical and experimental (laboratory, field, instrument development...)
Theoretical (basic theories, simulations, model development..)
Supradisciplinary (physics, chemistry, biology, meteorology, etc.)
From research to innovations; new SMEs
Collaboration
Spirit of publishing

Why Nordic collaboration?
• Research
– Boreal, Arctic focus
– Similar environmental problems and impacts
– According to our experience: effective
• Science policy
– Traditions
– Joint Nordic efforts
• EU projects
• global visibility, EINAR
• Knowledge transfer
– Similar education, joint degrees needed
• Practical
– Short distances – personal meetings
– Common history, easy to understand each other
– Seminars, courses, workshops, research visits, visiting professors
