NSLI 2025
Pilot Program

In September 2025, the Nordic Scholars Leadership Institute launched its inaugural pilot program in Stockholm — a 9-day immersive journey exploring how Nordic values can shape global leadership for sustainability.
Eight selected U.S. scholars engaged directly with Swedish leaders across business, government, and academia to experience how trust, collaboration, and innovation intersect in the Nordic model.

Scholar Reflections

Photographs from our Aveqia workshop were taken by Mikael Björkqvist, who also facilitated the session. We are grateful for his role in creating and documenting this shared learning experience.

One of my favorite quotes from this whole experience that has really stuck with me is this, “it might not be possible, but how far can we reach?” And I can't wait to use what I've learned here and see how far I can reach with it.
