“This is the one setting where the Nordic countries can come together and talk about safety and security, and what we can do to make our societies safer and better. We share so many similarities that without a forum where the focus is solely Nordic, we would absolutely lose something“, depicts Anneli Portman from Helsinki, Finland, a participant from the beginning of this network’s constitution.

With our events, the Nordic Safe Cities alliance aims to identify, facilitate and scale best practices, knowledge, inspiration and actions from across the Nordic region to Nordic cities, and internationally, for you to take home and implement locally. Through three annual sessions, we invite our members to engage collectively around pressing issues together with leading experts, researchers and government officials. Below you will find a selection of upcoming and past events.
