Preparing for the future «Education for all» has been a cornerstone of the Nordic welfare state. On the initiative of the Nordic ministers of education and research, NordForsk launched the pro gramme Education for Tomorrow – a largescale Nordic initiative on educational research – in spring 2013. The aim is to generate new knowledge about the Nordic educational systems that will better equip them to meet the needs of society – today and in the future. Now well into its first year, the programme provides funding to six large-scale, interdisciplinary research projects and one Nordic Centre of Excellence. The overall programme budget is approximately NOK 75 million for the 2012–2016 period. The programme also encompasses a smaller-scale thematic initiative (NOK 4 million) on Nutrition, Learning and Health, which is fully funded by the Nordic Council of Ministers via the Globalisation Initiative on Health and Welfare.
