RISK-AI meets fellow Nordic-Baltic research projects in Lund
On 29–30 September 2026, RISK-AI participated in a NordForsk kick-off meeting in Lund, Sweden, bringing together 17 research projects focusing on the responsible use of artificial intelligence across the Nordic and Baltic countries.
The two-day meeting provided an opportunity to learn more about the NordForsk programme, meet researchers from other projects and discuss common challenges and approaches to responsible AI.
The projects cover a broad range of areas, including healthcare, governance, education and the labour market. While some focus on broader questions related to AI governance and responsible use, others work on developing and testing specific AI solutions.
Common challenges across different research areas
An interesting observation from the meeting was how much the projects have in common, despite working in different fields and disciplines. Many address similar questions about how AI can be developed, governed and used responsibly.
For RISK-AI, which explores how risks associated with AI in healthcare can be understood and managed responsibly, these discussions were particularly relevant. They also provided new perspectives on how other research areas approach similar challenges.
Opportunities for continued exchange
The meeting included project presentations, workshops and discussions, giving participants the chance to share experiences and identify common interests.
It was also a good starting point for building connections with other projects in the NordForsk programme and exploring opportunities for future collaboration and knowledge exchange.
We look forward to following the other projects and continuing the dialogue over the coming years.
