The Nordic Center Fund

The Nordic Center at UC Berkeley serves as a vibrant, interdisciplinary platform connecting the Nordics and UC Berkeley through dialogue, research, and exchange. We bring the Nordics to Berkeley—and Berkeley to the Nordics—fostering shared learning and collaboration on sustainability, democracy, equality, and innovation.

Your support fuels a wide range of activities:

• Academic and cultural exchanges between UC Berkeley and Nordic universities.
• Research partnerships exploring shared challenges in climate, equity, and wellbeing.
• Student scholarships and internships that create transformative cross-cultural experiences.
• Public events and policy dialogues linking Nordic and U.S. leaders on a range of issues, including climate action, future of work, social welfare, cultural studies, democracy, food, sustainable capitalism, and AI.

When you give, you help sustain a vital bridge between the Nordic region and California. Together, we can deepen understanding and spark solutions that make societies more sustainable, equitable, and democratic.
