2012 Nordic Network Conference Presenters

Keynote speaker Prof. Martin Ingvar
“PUTTING CULTURE IN THE BRAIN”
A globalized society must prepare the next generation to meet the problems of the future.

The transition from a knowledge based to an information based society should also change education.
