FES Stockholm

The Nordic Office is part of the international network of the
Friedrich Ebert Stiftung (FES) and covers Denmark, Finland, Norway
and Sweden.

Based in Stockholm, the Nordic Office was established in 2006 in order to promote Nordic–German cooperation, mainly by means of seminars and reports on political trends. We strive to contribute to a continuous dialogue between decision-makers and civil society in the Nordic Countries and in Germany.

FES in the Nordic Countries focuses, in particular, on the exchange of ideas on common challenges in social, economic and foreign affairs, such as:

• experiences from welfare state and social reform, especially with regard to equal opportunities, participatory democracy and public sector performance;
• experiences in the fields of foreign and security policy, European integration and Baltic Sea cooperation;
• experiences in the areas of integration and migration policy.
