About the Nordic Centre 

The Nordic Centre was established in 1995 as a joint project between Fudan University and 14 Nordic universities. Today there are 25 partner universities representing the five Nordic countries. The Nordic Centre has been placed at Fudan University since the beginning but an increased number of activities has led to the construction of a new Nordic Centre building which was inaugurated in 2010. The building is at the area of Fudan University and contains offices and meeting rooms as well as lecture rooms and library.

Main areas of focus

The Nordic Centre aims to be:

• A platform for initiating and developing activities and collaboration within research and higher education which is of mutual interest to Nordic and Chinese scholars
• A teaching institution for Chinese students and scholars pursuing study of the Nordic countries and for Nordic students and scholars pursuing study of China
• An organizer of programmes and activities for Nordic business communities in Shanghai region
