The Nordic Welfare Forum 2023 takes place in Reykjavik, Iceland and via live stream on 2 June. The aim is to evaluate and discuss the Nordic welfare model and the challenges it is facing.
The Nordic welfare model has been put under pressure in the past few years and there are many factors causing negative impact: the Covid-19 pandemic, war in Ukraine, cost-of-living crisis and the threat to the climate and environment.
