2 WHAT IS NOVA? The Nordic Forestry, Veterinary and Agricultural University Network (NOVA) is a university cooperation aimed at supporting the understanding of major global challenges in a Nordic context. Our main task is to initiate, administer, promote and financially support cooperation between the Nordic universities in postgraduate education. NOVA provides a platform for networking betweeen Nordic postgraduate students through facilitating high quality, international level education for postgraduate students. The courses are planned, run and taught by a group of leading Nordic teachers and researchers.
