Planned activities are
The target of the network is first and foremost to strengthen the Nordic co-operation within the field and to establish a research community which provides the critical mass needed to be of international significance and interest. A further goal is to launch a Nordic Wittgenstein Society, which will be a permanent addition to the research community. Together with the establishment of inter-Nordic workgroups with more narrow thematic definitions, it will help to ensure that the co-operation established by the network extends beyond the NordForsk funding period.
