Góður árangur Íslands í NordForsk áætlun er snýr að velferð barna og ungmenna á Norðurlöndum eftir heimsfaraldur
Í kallinu Velferð barna og ungmenna á Norðurlöndum eftir heimsfaraldur var áhersla á menntun, vellíðan, geðheilbrigði og lífskjör barna og ungmenna.
Markmiðið var meðal annars að styðja við rannsóknir sem auka þekkingu á hvernig hægt er að milda áhrif heimsfaraldursins á velferð barna og ungmenna.

Af þessum átta verkefnum tekur Ísland þátt í sex þeirra og er það einstaklega gott árangurshlutfall. Alls falla því íslensku vísindasamfélagi í skaut rúmar 11 milljónir norskra króna í þessum sex verkefnum.
